Weekend Warriors

Now that the wedding and honeymoon are past, we have gotten a chance to start a lot of projects that we have been planning for the house. Notice I say start... completing them has turned out to be more complicated than we initially expected :)

First things first- we needed a workbench! (This was a
June 5th project and the night we caught project fever).
I have to give Ry some major props here. He had
this plan in his head and it came together beautifully
with the help of a pretty marvelous partner :)

Voila!
Last night we officially made it a workbench by adding...
a pegboard (and tools).



Cutting down our jungle of a back yard...finally.


The Never Ending Project: cornhole boards

Start Date: June 5, 2009

Estimated Time of Completion: Realistically...never

Here is Ryan cutting the legs...again.


Some other projects we have tackled:
GUTTERS - what fun!

We probably made four trips to Lowes just to be
able to finish these.

Now, we are just waiting for the rain :)


Contrary to what may appear, Ry is not the only one
that gets down and dirty. I am sure you all understand
someone must take the pictures! I have actually learned
the names of and how to use each and every tool that we
own- this stuff is really fun!!!!

FLOWER BED BORDER

Then, yesterday, we decided to wrap around the
landscaping, dig out the sod, and lay some more!!

Now we just need some plants...


HOSE HANGERS...check it off.

Drilling into brick is fun!



Well, we are getting there! Hopefully one day we'll be able to say, "we are done!" I have heard that will never happen though, but I am okay with that. It's good to stay busy :)
