After adopting two rescue dogs, we knew that we needed to provide a safe place for them to run and explore freely without being leashed. So in September, we started the 2013 Backyard Remodel project… fencing in a large portion of our yard.
John, with lots of help from our son Greg and son-in-law Steven, moved an existing shed, drilled 36 post holes and set 36 posts in concrete, strung 100+ feet of fencing, built three gates, and moved several loads of gravel.
It was a lot of work but finally, just before Thanksgiving, it was finished! The girls are so happy! And so are we!
I’m going to let the photos tell the story…. (click on a photo to see more detail and begin a slide show)
-
- Our backyard…before.
-
- We started the project by installing landscaping bricks.
-
- This area was an awkward ankle-turning slope.
-
- Then John cleared out the iris beds…
-
- Remember how the shed used to be up by the house?
-
- Steven, John and Greg spread the gravel to complete the shed foundation.
-
- The Girls…aka Cassie and Lady…are so happy that the Backyard Project has begun!
There are lots more photos so look for them in future posts.
Always remember that home is where the heart is … and there’s no place like home!
