Meanwhile Back At The Ranch (House)

Well, I took a break from

posting about Tom & Ruth's house

for a few days.

However, that does not mean that the work

came to a standstill.

My oldest son, God bless him,

had some time between jobs and 

worked tirelessly for 2 days on the back yard.

Here is a quick AFTER:

 My friends were gone about 8 months out of the year for the last 3 or 4 years.

The yard kind of took on a life of its own.

Here is the before of this area.

Much better, huh?

Here's another BEFORE shot:

That pile of brush in the center is a koi pond

that has been abandoned and filled with brush.

My son cleared it and then 

we covered it with plywood

and some indoor/outdoor carpet with signs

telling people what it is and warning them to

 STAY OFF THE GRASS!;>)

Here's the other side of the back:

Another Before:

After the MAGIC SCISSORS  treatment:

MUCH BETTER.

Not perfect- but oh-so-much better!

Tomorrow, if I can stay awake long enough to type

I will show you the final staging on the

inside of the house.

It's looking GOOD girls, REALLY good.

I think I have EARNED a treat, don't you?

Hmmmmmm

I don't drink so I guess I will have to do 

the next best thing:

Care to join me?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Anyone?
