Sometimes we feel like we aren't getting anything accomplished around here. so I thought I would take a look back at how we transformed a big part of our Project House property.
This is the east side of the property, running along the side street. Three giant pine trees, rocks, cement chunks, bricks; and a giant cement block planter.
Here's another vantage point, lot's railroad ties, chunks of broken concrete, and bricks; and this is where we have found bucket loads of beautiful beach rocks and Petoskey stones.
This is a good shot of the giant planter, made from broken concrete, with layers of asphalt shingles and bricks thrown in. The Eunonymous plants were pretty, but they had to go...
This is the planter taken apart.
What to do with all of this debris???
The tree guys came in October, and took down three pine trees, that ran along this fence line. They took down the rest of the trees (4 of them) on the property a couple of weeks later.
We ended up paying a company to come out and remove all of the broken concrete, and level the land...
They removed alot of stuff.
It looked great, but unfortunately, underneath, was alot more rocks, and many, many, many, roots, which we would not find until later...
In late October, the fence guys came in...
Out with the old Green cyclone fence and in with the new Cedar privacy fence.

Seven months later...
After a long, long, Winter, here we are working on raised garden beds.
It has been a lot of work...
and sometimes you have to look back, to remind yourself of how far you've come.
