Taking down the lattice cage

Well the rest of our lattice cage has come down. We are in the mood to change up our back yard and give it a more of a cohesive look. The yard used to be divided up into four sections. We have taken down the inner fences and are refiguring out ways to create better landscaping. We have a lot of wonderful plants that I want to rearrange and thin out a bit so our yard isn't quite so jungly.

Painting the back of the house will also be much easier now that all that wood is removed. I have started gathering ideas of things to do in the back yard here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aliciahanson/sets/72157625874478445/ I also want to paint the studio to match that house scheme and maybe add a cupola to he shed too.

I will post some of the ideas here as I start designing.

Hot tubs new location

So we poured new concrete and we are shortening the dog run. We also ran concrete along the fence,so the dogs cannot dig under the fence. While we doing the concrete we decided to move the hot tub over to this location. Now we have to build the new fences and gates.

Last night we decided to move incorporate the outdoor bed into the hot tub area. The plan is to build a new outdoor bed next to the hot tub and the top of the hot tub will slide under the out door bed. We are also going to put new wood surrounding the bottom of the hot tub and out door bed, that matches what we do on new fence. I am super excited about the new plan. More to come.

When we bought the house it came with this jacuzzi. We have never used. We have decided to a new location and hook it up. Here I am cleaning it up.
