What's sad is that we still have a ton more to remove! There are gardens that still have the wood border and there's also some lining the yard. The wood is mostly rotten, so it's gotta go!
Here's a picture of the 15 bundles of sticks Frank and I tied up yesterday... We wanted to clean up the yard and also the path through the woods where we walk Tyson sometimes. It was a very productive time picking up sticks, haha. I must say, this was mostly Frank!
Regarding the "treasures" we found... apparently the last homeowners enjoyed throwing anything and everything out in their yard! We've found old tile (two yellow buckets full above in the first picture), lots of old wood from furniture and other structures, soda bottles, plastic bags, buckles, and our largest find so far - this firewood wood hoop!
Isn't this ridiculous?? Who knows what else we'll find as we keep going with our outside landscaping!
Next up are some fun photos of our backyard before and after (fence removal only). We haven't done too much else back here yet besides cleaning up things, but I think it looks so much better already with the fence gone! So here are the before reminder photos...
And here's the after... thinned out the garden a bit and tore down that "fence!"
The last thing we did was tape out where our future closet will go... so excited to see it taped out! Here's a little preview...
The long line along the bottom will be a new wall that creates a walk way to the bathroom (off the the right out of this picture) and the closet which is the back square in this picture. If you look hard, you can see where our king size bed will most likely go with the blue tape dots on the left. Can't wait!!! More to come soon hopefully.
Love,
Jess
