We have been slowly starting to do a little outdoor sprucing up! The yard is growing nicely (finally) and we are putting out shrubs and flowers. It looks a little better in the sunshine - but here are a few pics.

Been A While! IT'S OFFICIAL - ALL BLACK PLASTIC IS GONE!
YEAH! I no longer have any black ground cover anywhere at my house! We got up early this morning and I used the tiller to plow up the last portion of yard by my garage. It took nearly a solid hour of tilling to break it up. Some of it is only a couple inches deep - others a little deeper. I sowed grass and then raked it again.
The ground cover was protecting the brick - now I have pine straw doing that. See pics below.

Shuttered!
Just a couple more good daylight pics of the house with shutters.

SHUTTERS - AT LAST!!!
Well, almost three months after "finishing" the house, we did some more today - and it really changed the appearance. We added the shutters. Robert K. did the drilling - I did the holding! The sun was behind the house so the light is not too good. I will probably take another one in the morning when the sun is shining on the front of the house. I will put a "before" and "after" pic up for now.

New Pics of Outdoors!
Slowly but surely, we are starting to transform the yard from a "sea of red dirt" to a "sea of hay!" Of course, under the hay is a healthy sowing of rye grass. I am hopeful to get a stand of it up before long. I need to fertilize as well. Anyway, that is what the pics show below.

A Couple of Updates!
We have been working on plumbing and hardi-plank today. The plank is going on the back porch. We also got the house "hard plumbed" to the well and got our connection box down in the ground. We are just about a couple of hours away on finishing the grouting on the tile. Also, we are about to begin painting doors, door facings, and trim.
Below are some pics of the master shower. These were taken before today - we have the fixtures on now but i have not had the time to take a new pic.
The discolored look on the front edge of the seat is really
not there. Light was glaring off of it from the window.
Front porch with siding completed - Still have to paint though!
Below is a more "wooded" view!
