Decked out...

So the backyard is never done, right? Or wait is that a house? Anyway here is what has been going on outside. To accompany my new custom built shed and my fence is a brand new deck. Here is what it looks like so far.

Backyard updates

Well the siding is finally done for the shed. I am very pleased with how it turned out...now I have to look into solar light sconces ( these do exist right?) because my electrician is super busy. I also need to get a door knob and a window flower box and some shutters and then I will be officially done the shed...I swear!

But of course the deck is the next main project...it should be done in time to be enjoyed for next summer :)

Garden...further updates

I went today to get some stones and some mulch for the garden, and this is what it looks like at present... mind you this is only one half of the garden (the other side is still in progress). I have some daylight and night time pictures, with my new solar lights in place.

Oh and I almost forgot, while I was at Lowe's for all my garden supplies I also picked up 4 great fibreglass planters and the real kicker was the price, they were $59 original price and they got marked down to $14. You can see them by the shed in the daylight pics, although the colour isn't great, a little spray paint and maybe a potted fern and they will look like a million bucks!

Updates

I have 2 updates for all of you. First I added a Buddha statue to my sideboard, I will be adding a few new pieces to the rest of it soon, I can't decide what else to put there?

I also have some updates on the backyard, the plants and grass have gone in...mind you the plants need some time to grow in, but still I am very happy!

The yard still needs a deck...plus the shed needs to get some siding, it's ordered and it's on it's way.

That's all for now, hope you are all enjoying the last few weeks of summer.

Storage space

Hey everyone!! hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer's so far. My summer has gone by fast, especially because I've been hard at work on the backyard reno; so here it is some updates: I have the fence up, and now onto the shed/garage. First came the frame of the shed and then the plywood and a new window. Soon I'll have the shingles and siding all done, as well as a metal exterior door, can't wait!

On the fence

Here are the updates from a good week of hard work, the frame is up and the slats have gone up, well almost...we ran out of some, so we have to hit up a Home Depot for some more. We still have to put up the lattice and two doors, one to the park (yes my backyard leads into a park!) and one to enter my backyard from the driveway. The fence is not quite done but it's almost there I can't wait! I am looking forward to BBQ season!
