Weekend Projects with Lots of Pics (before & after)

We are so excited. We finally finished our shed and lots of other projects this weekend. (we were off on Friday tooChat Icon )

Shed Before Chat Icon

With Primer

DH just finished the new trim and now is putting in the new door

Shed After with Olympic Paint - Pins & Needles (it's a gray/slate blue) (only need new trim around door)
External Image
Now we can start to regrade the yard next to the shed and put in a small slate patio and gazebo. The fence next to the shed in the pics is coming down too. Chat Icon

We also had some work done on our deck over the week. We were told that the 2nd floor deck's poles were rotted out and not holding up the deck the way it should be anymore. This is how we bought the houseChat Icon . I guess the inspector missed that one. Chat Icon So now our deck is at the level it should be and now our windows close in the enclosed deck. Chat Icon

We finally hired a contractor we liked. Did a great job too. They also installed a new window for us. They do decks, window's and siding.

Old Window (ETA: It was a slider not double casement)

New Window (single casement) Chat Icon Love it.

We also did lots of gardening. Well me and my mom did.

Plants starting to bloom (previous owners didn't take care of anything and everything seems to bloom a couple of weeks after everyone else has started.)

Now I'm going to sleep! We are so tired!Chat Icon

ETA: I forgot in between all the work, we had two vists from these guys. Two days in a row in our backyard.

Re: Weekend Projects with Lots of Pics (before & after)

Thanks everyone! Chat Icon It was a very rewarding weekend for us. The backyard is much more peaceful now with the new updates. We also need to powerwash the deck and stain it. After all that hopefully we can plant some grass or maybe sod and then we can really use our whole backyard. Chat Icon
