Its all about the outside

We have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. Mav is still working shift work so he has random days here and there that he has devoted to working outside (finally nice weather!!). We have started our big summer project already, which is exciting considering it's only the middle of April. We are going to add a wood patio/deck onto the back of our house this year, complete with seating, a built in sandbox and MAYBE a path that leads to a fire pit. Mav designed it himself, so it is going to be very custom and unique. We hope to be able to finish it soon enough so that we can enjoy it throughout the summer. We pretty much just have the backyard left as far as outside projects are concerned and are ready to enjoy just being outside in a nice space.
Here's a BEFORE pic. We have to first pick up/carry all of these stone pavers away, then put in drain tile, and THEN start the construction. We will keep you posted on our progress!!
