Before and During

We've been very busy since I got back from Utah. We decided to get some work done on the outside of the house before the government taxes all our retirement. The first set is the front of the house and we are going to make a courtyard out of that area with a little wall around it and cement and rocks inside. Eventually some plants too. The next set is part of our back yard. We are getting brick red pavers put in and scalloped edges for plants. We did this on the other side ourselves and are having a company do all this work. Also, in the works, is a block wall around the side and back yard. In this picture right above was filled with rocks which we removed and are saving for around the edges of the two courtyards. That took 3 long days. And we had to take the rocks from the front and spread them around the front yard. Then on top of that, our best friends, Gordon and Cheryl came to visit from Anchorage. Ed and I did major house cleaning since it was very dusty from being not used too much this last summer. Well, that's it. When we get done there will be after pictures to go with these. Love you all and miss you, Vicki & Ed
