A Nice Birthday Present

Yesterday was my birthday. It was also the day that the concrete got poured. 👏👏👏

I’m so in love with how it has turned out. They still need to seal the concrete and add the color,  but I think it’s looking great! Happy Birthday to me! 😁

Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

What started as our next door neighbors putting in an inground pool, ended as a giant mess for us. Since we are downhill from their house, every time it would rain, mud from their their dug up yard would pour into ours. The last time was the worst. Check out these videos I took during the storm. 

This is just a fraction of the mess left behind

The company that did their pool agreed to come in and fix all of the damage. We were able to take advantage of the situation since all of the labor would be free.  We are able to get all of the flagstone replaced with 700 sq ft of stamped concrete for a fraction of the cost.

They finally got started on it this week.

It rained a lot yesterday afternoon so we don’t have anyone working today. I’ll try to update as progress is made.

I just love big makeover projects like this!
