Pick a state, any state!

Well, maybe just Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico... With the cool gas station lights installed on the garage, we finally decided to hang the better part of our various road signs on the exterior of the garage. It's a great look!

Bluff all the way across!



Continued the bluff project from Labor Day which cleaned off a whole other section of the bluff. This section is below the garage. Still need to do some additional clean-up and landscaping. But you can walk the whole way without getting in any dirt!

Labor Day


Boy, you ain't kiddin'! While the guys worked on the new addition to the blue house, we cleared away new bluff below the garage and I laid a wide path all the way around the new back porch. I redid the rock stairs (the new back porch partially covered where they used to sit) back in August.

Drunk Drivers


While mom was in Denton getting Baby William's room ready, some drunks took a flying leap off the road and down into our property. Down into the creek, in fact. They did quite a bit of damage and it's a miracle they are alive. However.... the guy who pulled them out did the most damage and trashed/ripped out several trees. Trees can not be replanted and mom had just spent quite a bit of money getting that area cleaned up - made the area so much more beautiful and enjoyable...

A before shot from July 4th and an after shot AFTER the clean-up from the wreck when I got here.

Planting rocks... again!


Another new bed off the golf course! Scrounged what rocks we had left to make this bed. Looks much better with the path edged!

Deck for the Garage


In between the new back porch build and the blue house addition, Steve had time to build a deck for the garage. Necessary once parking in the garage, the deck will provide a safe walkway for mom. He ended up making it deeper to provide a covered workspace for projects and even covered it so we could still work in the rain. Gorgeous approach using the rebar and dad's fancy columns (meant for another project at one time).
