Front of house, May '08


In the last 1 month we have: Built a bioswale/dry creek bed used to to capture the rain from the downspouts, cleared and planted a parking strip including pavers, placed a gravel sidewalk (previously we lacked any formal walkway), finished 3/4 of the stainless steel deck railings, significantly trimmed the very large birch tree, removed the lilac hedge from atop the rock wall, planted and irrigated (using soaker hoses) the newly cleared areas, started our veggie gardens in front and back, prepared the water troughs for bamboo, partially built the kiwi trellis and removed the brick path beside the rock wall. Our plan: To take July and August completely off. We'll see.....
