Evening G'nad, Mrsnad, thegirl, theboy and thenewboy. That is a fine addition to the homestead, well laid out and the construction quality is evident throughout. Congrats.
That is a super picture of Mrsnad and thenewboy. Notice thenewboy is keeping one hand on the johndeere and an eye on keys. (it calls to him, it does)
Hmmm, tool benches.

Nice! But you need some hanging baskets.

My little projects around here aren't nearly on the scale of the g'nads, and the advances are small...but vey noticeable, IMO. Yesterday we worked on putting down gravel in front...wish we had more before pictures so you could see what an immense difference this made!
This is looking down the path from the house. See the cracks in the sidewalk? They aren't even that noticeable now, but before, that whole big piece was at an angle and separated from the rest. Also the area beyond it, with the little trees, was covered in small assorted frap particles and bits of burned board. Now it looks all nice and tidy!
I'm planning to go around the borders with river rock. There's no shortage of it here. I seem to get a new crop every couple days, and putting 'em here will make both me and the lawnmower happy.
Another view of the gravel - that's two truck loads, mind you...gives an idea of how uneven that ground was. I still need to get some fill dirt for the lawn on that side, but that can wait.
And...the redneck garden. Remember the tires the landlord put along my drive and haphazardly painted? This is 'em. I wanted a raised bed, and I got one. The price was right, after all, which is vey important this year.
Because they're wide, getting to the center bed is a little tricky, but mostly I'll be planting corn in there, which won't need a lot of tending. I'll be putting other, smaller crops around the corn (pumpkins and cukes, maybe), and then various other things in the tires. I'm thinking the black ones might work for little chili peppers of some sort, as they stay pretty warm - but it'll partly depend on what plants I find available. I'm hoping I can do 'maters in the taller stacks. Need to visit a plant place.
It ain't pretty, but hopefully it'll work!
