It is time to go "from Trashy, to Tropical!"
BACKYARD REMODEL
The projects begin.
After years of having an unusable backyard we finally decided to get rid of the mounds (bodies), and do something with the back yard.
... and the de-construction begins.  Down comes the rotten old fence that has been falling apart for years. Out comes 100 yards of dirt! 
New fence posts go up.  New dirt is brought in. 
Trenching begins for the electrical lines, sprinklers and waterfalls.  
The foundation and the first row of blocks are in.  The sprinklers and controls are set.
These are side by side pictures for the progress from the day this project started to today.  Notice any changes???

...AND THEN CAME SOD!
...and then came paint
...add some mood lighting
...and the back yard continues to evolve...
In the wind is a new idea for a temporary structure...

We talked about it and started a drawing.  If we make the waterfall area into an outdoor living room, just for now...

Putting up lattice softens the wall and the deck becomes a cozy sitting area...

Steve is the latest addition to our garden.  He is about 3 feet tall and watches the house from the garden.  His color is a greenish patina copper.  We really like Steve, he worries about our boys in Iraq and watches over our house.
May 29, 2006.  The plants have grown in some over the last year and things are looking more natural
October 14, 2006.  Hanging wire and putting in overhead lighting, and colored glass over the white spots make the yard a little more festive!
May 24, 2009.  The back deck gets a roof, a ceiling fan, and a comfy bed!
