Lanscaping and stuff

[2fnloud]

So The Missus wanted to do a garden this year, and we had some yard area that was tore up from when we replaced the sewer connection to my house.

That turned in to adding a hostess garden along the walk leading to the back deck.

Of course then the deck needed to be power washed as well as new deck furniture and grill.

this is the end result:

I am happy how it turned out, was my first time playing with retaining wall blacks and attempting to level yard like much.

I really like your grill-cover, Steve.

No shit - it looks great...doing some of that sort of stuff here, too.

I need my own house first.

Then awesome stuff like waterfalls and trees and block walls and a putting green!

Looks good! Your patio looks like a great place to chill with a glass of lemonade and some steaks on the grill.

We had a family cookout the day after getting the deck set up. Hamburgs, hotdogs, cribbage....goodtimes

CRIBBAGE???

I am the best cribbage player on this planet...just so you know.

I studied at and graduated with honors from the Francis A. Lesica School for Cribbage Phenoms during my tenure with the State of Michigan.

I am AWESOME.

Looks good. I have to repaint my deck sometime this summer. I've also been focusing on getting my yard squared away. We've lived here for almost two years but I haven't been able to focus on rectifying the issues the previous owners left me with, and now crabgrass is taking over a good portion of my front yard! Tried crabgrass killer but it didn't work so I might have to go to an all-purpose killer to kill everything in the area and reseed.

...rectifying the issues the previous owners left me with...

Oh, geez, Ty - can't you come up with something new?
