We have always been DIYers. Always. ALWAYS. However, due to the heat, time constraints and loss of upper body strength AW and I have decided to have some "work" done on the back yard. We live in a garden home but our lawn area is bigger than in our old house -- not much of a "garden". When we moved here it was fine because the area beyond our fence was a vacant field with much over growth. Well, the powers that be came and cut down the over growth and erected a "sales office" for the eventually-to-be-built condo for those over 62. In the process, we lost the feeling of being in a cozy, wooded area and immediately felt like we were thrust into a commercial, industrial sort of area with the promise of the condo's dumpster being placed at our back fence. This did not bode well with AW. So, we decided to do some "work" -- plastic surgery so to speak.
This is a photo of our little yard before the massacre -- uh, work, commenced this morning. I will post more photos as it progresses. I guess it is a little late for second thoughts but....

Second thoughts? Well, it's never too late, I guess. But don't throw yourself in front of a backhoe or anything.
Hope the work is progressing according to plan. You do have a plan, right? M and I have never really had a yard to do any work in, but we did clean off our balcony recently! Does that count as DIY?
I will post pictures. It is a sad, sad state of affairs and somehow one of my new lawn chairs got damaged and it wasn't anywhere near the activity. Sigh.
There is a plan -- today a french drain and more sprinkler system, tomorrow putting down formers for the patio extention, Friday pouring the patio and then the weekend -- nothing going on, thank goodness -- I don't think my nerves will take it.
