Home Improvements: Almost Finished

I know the blog has been very quiet the past few weeks but we’ve been busy trying to get back in control of our house. If you’ve followed this blog over the past several years I’m sure you’ve seen the Porch Project updates from time to time and wonder what’s up. Well…we are in the home stretch of the most massive do it yourself, do it with family, do it with friends and do it with hired help project. Over the last two weeks April and I watched as Clark’s Custom Landscaping took over for us and easily laid brand new bricks throughout our entire courtyard. They built two planters, added flagstone to “the coffin” feature, making it a nice seat and added all the necessary special touches that helped maintain the rustic look we’ve been trying to preserve. Steve and Jason (of Clark’s Custom Landscaping) were awesome! I would recommend them to anyone. They were extremely kind and took over after we gave them the general idea of how we wanted the courtyard to look. They understood exactly what we wanted and they added their own artistic touch. Their attention to detail made us trust their finished product so we just sat back, relaxed and enjoyed seeing the quick progress. So, after putting our readers in suspense for long enough it is now time to unveil a few pictures of the massive “Porch Project/Courtyard.”

Also, I would like to thank all who helped us. At first, this was a project we were hesitant to tackle ourselves but after having learned a lot from family, friends and hired help we got past major hurdles and the final result is something we are going to enjoy for a long time. Thanks!
