Makeover

Our backyard has gone through a big makeover this summer, not to say we are finished with it, but big changes were made!  We started by pulling out a bunch of weeds and planting grass.

 I am so glad these weeds are gone!!!

 Here are all those yucky weeds out.

 We tilled it all up and planted grass seed.

The grass grew, but the fence was falling down and Samson learned that he could escape.  So we had to start the process of replacing it.

 Yea, it was actually like this when we moved in.

 We have been told that it has been up for at least 30 years.

 Quality work, huh?

 Jason dug holes to get out the concrete.

Then taking down the slate was the next task. DJ got in on that work for a little while, but the hammer was too heavy for him, so he didn't last long.

 Here it is with no fence at all.

 Since Jason was making a different type of fence he had to fill in all of the holes from the old posts and dig all new holes.

 DJ hammering like Daddy.

 Here is the fence finished.  It is really nice!  Jason worked a lot of hard, long hours on it!

 Just hoping the grass will come back that we had planted earlier.

 Here it is from the street behind our house.

 Great work Jason!!!  He did it all, but a few parts totally by himself.
