So I had posted a blog earlier about all my projects and how I had nothing to do except take up fishing. I had Kenneth take some pictures for me of the diffrent projects. It is amazing how much work putting in a back yard is.
I do not have a picture of the side of the house. I put gravel on both sides of the house so now when it rains I don't get a big mud mess. I will try to get a picture of it put up here. The rest of the projects do have a picture.
This picture is of the trampoline. It took us about a year to dig the hole to put it in. Every time the kids misbehaved we made them pull weeds in the back yard or dig in the "pit" for 30 minutes. The problem was that they started to behave a little better. I finally took a day off of work and Lisa and I finished it off. You can also see the garden boxes up against the fence. I have cantaloupe and watermelon on the left, carrots, onions, lettuce and spinach in the middle. The squash is in the middle in the back. On the right I have 8 tomato plants. I planted 10 but 2 died.
This picture is on the other side of the yard. You can see the garden box with the strawberries, broccoli, peppers and some more watermelon. You can also see the fruit trees. I have an apple, peach and cherry tree. The peach is the only one that has started to produce. They are in their 3rd year so I expect that maybe the other two will start producing something next year.
This is another shot of the garden box that runs along the back fence.
The deck is finaly done. I got it all waterproofed right before it rained. It was nice to be done with it. I look forward to a lot of grilling on this thing. Next year I plan to build a picnick table that you can fould out into two benches to put on it.
These next few pictures are in the front of the house. The one that does not have the house in it is out front. We did not plant anything there this year and thought we would only have the rose bushes but all the petunias came up from last year. It was a pleasant surprise. I also have a picture of Daniel and Troy on their first day of school. Daniel is in 5th grade and Troy is in 3rd. You can tell how much Daniel loves school The only redeeming quality of school according to him is that he gets to play football at lunch time.

It all looks good. I'm glad you posted. Getting home projects done takes a lot of work. You deserve to show the world what you've accomplished. Good Work!
It all looks great hun, minus the white blemish on the front of the house. So you're technically not done until you figure out to get rid of it. Love ya though!
I think you should change your name to James Villa. Fits better...
You should have taken a picture of my grass since it is greener. HaHaHa
Ok looks really good. I'm so jealous of your garden boxes. I'll be showing Jeff this for sure...:) Loved the picture of Daniel... so happy about school. Troy is so big!
