Our House: 200805.13

It's not botox, it's a paint job!

body of house: Dunn Edwards "Swiss Coffee"
trim of house: Dunn Edwards "Wreath"


All done up for the Holiday Season
Please appreciate the irony of the 'Bah Humbug' sign which required the use of Holiday Lights to create!


All Spooked out for Halloween!

I like to get into the spirit of things

PROJECTS

North Side

Although little-used and seldom seen. The North side of our house bordering our neighbour was a dark and weed infested space and invaded by rogue ash saplings
(courtesy of the millions of seeds spawned by the tree we removed from the front yard THREE years ago!)
A day's worth of Ash eradication and application of vegetation killer,
and another day's work laying down weed barrier fabric and *lots* of decorative white marble chips, makes this side of the house just a little bit nicer....don't you agree?

Urbanite Wall

Removal of the concrete front walk yielded this nice little pile.
The eastern edge of our property in our back yard slopes up to the cinderblock wall that demarks this edge of our space.
This project will result in a small terraced area in which to eventually plant an herb garden and a place for my cactus collection
(currently residing on the Parental Units backyard deck).
Rather than deal with the hassle of hauling and disposal of the concrete (AKA: 'Urbanite') pieces, they will be recycled and re-used to build the wall.
The old existing walkway probably hasn't yielded enough raw material to finish the project,
but i'm confident that I can locate more Urbanite from someone else who will probably let me haul theirs away for free.


Keep watching this space to view the progress

As the above photo also shows, you can also see the Coaster Garden Project
