Backyard remodel

[countryford]

This will be the third summer since we've moved into our house. We finally were able to get the backyard the way we wanted it. First is a picture of the backyard when we moved in. Theres a big difference. First is the back of the house when we bought it. as you can see the awining had been knocked down.

this next one is the yard itself.

Forget the Awning

Just send me the GE Americana refrigerator.  Its amazing what setting a couple fridges on the patio can do for the whole yard.  Quite transformational and it had to be a ton of work.

Other side of the yard. We are still going to get some gravel for the area to the right of the shed.

Is that a semi-inground installation,

or is it a really shallow pool?

The yard looks great!

Congratulations Justin, your yard and patio area looks fantastic!!!  It is easy to see that you have but a tremendous amount of work into it.

Just beautiful!  That GE does look wonderful with the turquoise Hotpoint next to it.

 

[countryford]

The pool is a 4 foot above ground that we sunk 2 feet into the ground. Also the hotpoint is not going to be out there. We just got the ge today and haven't had time to rearrange the fridges.

Very nice transformation. I'm sure you'll spend many happy hours out there enjoying what you've accomplished.

Great job, you wouldn't know it was the same backyard..

btw what's that thing on the top of the fridge? looks like a cooler of some sort and are those swamp coolers on the roofs of the houses out back?

Your remodel is like comparing a Yugo to a Lamborghini! I haven't gotten over the coppertone Americana yet though! I wish you many happy years in that paradise!

The restoration is GREAT! Did you get Robert to come to your place and twitch his nose?

Is the pool being used? I like the idea of it being sunken a few feet.
