Shower Before Demo

Backyard Grass

Original backyard when we purchased home in July 2008.

Nice tall weeds and overgrown trees.

I removed about 10 plants around the perimeter and 2 trees. Seed was planted in October 2008.

Professionals at work. Laying seed is a highly specialized skill.

This is the seed after 2 weeks.

It is thin in some areas. Mostly on the south side of yard where there is not that much sun.

The thick grass area in the bottom right was a test area that was planted in Sept 2008 to see if seed would grow in the soil before I seeded the whole backyard.

Seed after the 2nd mowing. Seed is about 6 weeks old in the following photos.

The perimeter around the house and the north fence is bare dirt. Eventually some type of path/walkway will be complete here.

New mower to cut grass.

There were some sprinklers in the backyard, but they were above ground and had manual valves. I installed automatic sprinkler valves with a control panel in the garage. All sprinklers are now in the ground and on a timer.

Wood Paneling above fireplace when we bought the house.

Replacing the paneling with drywall was one of the first projects (along with painting) that was complete before moving in. Drywall looks much better.
