Been waiting for it to warm up here so I can get after some projects that I want to do at the new house. Moved in last May, and focused all of our time and money throughout summer, fall, and winter rehabbing the inside. Now we can focus on the outside.
Going to build a deck across the back of the house and add landscaping & walk way around the screened in patio. Add a screen door to walk out of the patio into the deck.
Something like this.
Built this fire pit in the fall.
Been clearing the woods behind the house (you can see above how overgrown it was & below how I’ve cleared a ton of it out to where you can walk around back there). Going to build another smaller fire pit back in there, add a picnic table and a couple hammocks.
Also going to add black lava rock in all of the front landscaping. It’s currently black mulch and pretty old and thin. The dog gets in it and drags the shit in the house on her feet. Did the first load last week when we had a day in the 50’s. Have 6 more loads to go. Bushes are pretty overgrown as well, so I’ll be trimming those way back & probably removing some to make space for some new stuff w/ color.
Going to start on the basement tomorrow. Already built my daughter a bedroom down there. Now my wife wants to build a bar area. Going to repaint all of the walls and baseboards well. Will take me a couple of weeks to get this one done.
What it looked like when we moved in. That wall with all of the pictures is where I’m going to install lower cabinets, countertops, and the entire wall will be barnwood with some shelves.
What it looks like now after building the bedroom (behind door w/ wreath).
I’ll try to post some updated pics as i finish this stuff.
What projects do you all have planned? @Hauler - I know you have something in the works.
