After living here for exactly 5 months, our yard is almost completely done. AND we aren't planning on moving any time soon. :) For most people this would be a given, but considering we lived in our last two locations for an average of 7 months, we realize we are not "normal".
When we moved in, the ground and lake were frozen and covered in snow. After everything thawed (plus some time) we've lanscaped the front and back, added a beach wall, underground sprinkling installed, sodded everywhere and spread 13+ yards of mulch. My dad is in town right now doing some business work, and he helped us do a lot of the finishing touches this weekend. It is finally looking really good. A lot of the work was contracted out, but we did save a lot of money by doing a lot ourselves. Hopefully it doesn't look too amateur...we're proud. Now we just need to let some of the baby plants get big!
The 2% that isn't complete is couple of bags of mulch for one area and we could use some nicer beach sand, but that might just have to wait until next summer. However, at 98% we are ready for visitors! I can't wait for Connor's neighborhood birthday party over Labor Day weekend!
