Operation grass and wall removal
Today kick starts day one of operation grass and wall removal! After trying to remove our lawn ourselves and breaking our back in the process we decided it was time to call in some help for this project. So the bobcat arrived early this morning and is removing the lawn in the back right now. Today they will also remove all the front lawn and tomorrow the broken, falling down cinder block wall between us and our neighbors will be coming down! We will be spending our 3-day weekend building a new fence, ahhh the joys of home ownership! It's not all that bad though, we will be spending Sunday on a boat relaxing and then it's back to fence building on Monday. Lots of photos coming in the next few days.

New House Projects
Not too long ago we completed our laundry room make-over which I blogged about here http://tangerinehome.blogspot.com/2011/07/laundry-room-makeover.html Well, with the completion of one project begins the start of a new one. We have two projects in the works right now. The first project is finishing up organizing and decorating the 2nd bedroom which doubles as my workspace/office. A few weeks ago my husband built me these wonderful shelves on one side of the closet.
It may not look like much, but to me it looks like organization! When you live in a tiny 820 sq. ft. house you have to take advantage of every bit of space available. I am currently going through all my tons of art supplies, fabric, paperwork, etc... and organizing it all so it can fit neatly in this space. I've been working up some ideas for this closet office to make it pretty and I'll post updated photos once I finish with this project.
Another project we are currently working on is ripping out our mostly dead, weed infested lawn so we can replace it with drought tolerant plants and a deck! Ripping out your lawn is not a fun project at all, in fact, I think I rather repaint the entire exterior of our house again rather than do this hard physical labor. We may have to call in help for this one but for now we've taken it on ourselves. Here is our sad backyard now.
We've managed to remove almost half of the lawn so far in the backyard. Everything is getting cleared out so we can level the ground and have a blank canvas to work with. I have so many ideas for the backyard I hope I can pull it all together!
