School Project

It's that time of year when everyone in Kindergarten is sent home and told to make a vehicle for the "Transportation Parade" at school. Mine little one came home and said I want to be a Limo. After weeks of saving boxes to paint black he changed his mind and said, "How about a motorcycle, Dad."

Cardboard, paint, electrical tape, tinfoil and some suspenders and here is what we came up with.

BYIP??????

BYIP Balloons Yell Inappropriate Phrases? NO. Big Yellow Indestructible Poppies? NO. Bulls Yelp Into Phones? NO! BackYard Improvement Project - YES!


Before it's just some bushes.







If you start with 3 concrete rings that I got on craigslist for free, black spray paint, red mulch and plants from Home Depot and add some sweat you come out with a nice backyard.

After a little more interesting.

Patio COMPLETE

I have finished my patio. The concrete was poured, the pergola built and I laid all the wooden tiles on the patio.

I'm a huge fan of these tiles from ifloor.com

Below is the picture of what the concrete looked like without the tile. Now I'm looking at the fence and thinking it needs an upgrade.

NOTE: The fireplace from one of my earlier posts.....now in it's place.
