The Great Back Yard Project























Spring is in the Rockies and our back yard is looking amazing!



Our great project is almost finished and here are some new photos!
The backyard has doubled in size and we've added a second deck, a barbecue area, large firepit, second eating area and doubled the garden area! Lots of new plants, new fencing and great new baskets ( thank you Colleen!).


This is what is looked like when we started.......amazing what you can do with a little string and some nails!




Then, Deanne broke out every tool she owned and began to build and build!











These piles of timbers were dug in by hand and leveled individually- so much work!






This was dug out by hand- and filled with yards of dirt and gravel....all by Deanne!








Next, the beds were built with yards of dirt, lots of shovelling with Blaine and Miss Molly, and wheelbarrows (and wheelbarrows...) full of black dirt!


Here is a picture of a little oasis in the heart of Calgary. The petals are from our mayday and crabapple trees- no, it's not snow!!




Drop by for a tour- we'd love to show off!
