Todd and I did follow through on the project that we had planned
to attack this weekend.
Well, actually, we didn't really DO the project,
we really sat down and planned a project...a BIG project.
What is it you ask?
See if you can figure out what we are doing.
Any guesses?
That's right, we are planning to tier our "front" yard.
We own acres, so it isn't feasible to tier all of it,
but we are wanting to do the front part that goes
down to a roughed in road.
Everything past the road will remain wild, wild, wild.
Everything before the road....landscaped.
Are we looking to do this all this year,
not a chance.
Todd and I went and looked at and priced materials.
It will be one tier a year for the next five years.
Yep...gotta have goals right!
We went to our local landscaping company,
then we went to Home Depot.
Surprisingly, the little mom and pop landscape shops custom materials
ended up being the same price as Home Depot's retaining wall bricks.
So it looks like we are going custom.
We were so jazzed when we got home,
we went up to Todd's office and AutoCaded
(is that a word) the project.
Don't mind the dust, his office is out in the garage.
Us trying to figure out the slope of the land
and how it will look against our house.
I'm super excited to see how far we get on the project this year.
Hopefully it will not remain in the planning stages,
and we will actually start moving on it in the next couple months.
You can rest assured I'll keep you updated.
So, do you have any big expensive projects planned in the near future?
