The gate in its place! 080309

This is where the gate will go, Tony just stained it too! we will hang it this week! Fun Fun!

A beautiful gate!

the backside

( the front side)

Tony used scrap wood we had left over from other projects to create this gorgeous gate for the 

side of the house. I love it! What do you think?  I love being able to recycle things we already have around the house.

Latest and the greatest news from the backyard_071609

Tony planted some great new plants in the backyard. And we wanted to share some new pics with you.

On the first level he planted some joey kangaroo paws, and on the top level where the grass is he planted some mexican feather grass! And the bamboo is growing! Whoopie!

Lovely Lavender!

The bees like this stuff!

Another view of the yard from above!

“Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany”

We have grass! We have grass! Thank you Esteban and crew!
Now lets just hope the sprinklers do not break this time around!

“He was in love with life as an ant on a summer blade of grass”

It's here!

The Men behind the Windows.. A look back in time..

Tony and Dad Fisher.. these men did work!

The Grass is Coming! The Grass is Coming

The grass is coming in today! No more dust clouds from puppies running around.. Yippeeee!!

Yesterday was spent prepping the ground. Leveling it out and giving it some good healthy organic soil...

Here is a view from the roof.. Pretty cool!

A front of the house updated photo.. Almost there!

A partial shot of the front.. just pay attention to the windows.. not the door!

Tony did an awesome Job!
Thanks so much Tonester!

The Dasher Roof Guard is almost done!

First off.. some more working photos..
Tony rocked this out!

I mostly enjoyed the beautiful sunshine!





























And Layla enjoyed lounging in the dirt.

Update : Front of the house... working on it...

Tony has been working so hard on the windows.. Staining, cutting wood, and making it look just right....
The dogs seem to enjoy the play time as Tony works away in the background!











Here is a closer up look at two of the wonderful windows..






I will post some more pics of the house soon!

DRG almost done!

Layla is not sure about this latest new yard edition...























Dasher knows.. Oh Dasher knows exactly why we have installed the DRG he retreats sadly.











Here is a view from the deck up top.














Here is a view from the patio below...


Its almost done.. Woo hoo!

Stay tuned!

DRG .... check it out!!

So this wasn't step one ...
by any means.
But this is the bare bones.
A lovely supportive structure for the soon to be "Dasher Roof Guard"



















and here you can see the sun is setting
and we are almost halfway with one side of the "roof guard" lets call it
DRG for short shall we?

100 Degrees and alot of wood.. Shouldn't we be inside?

To the right is some of the wood we stained. We stained it after sanding it and ripping the boards in two. Don't it look puuuurrrtty?












And more wood!
I am sure by
now you are getting curious as to what we plan on doing with all this wood.

Update: Patio still in Progress, Problem: Dasher on roof

To your left you see our
temporary solution to Dasher's roof problem.
He likes to jump from the second level of the yard onto the garage roof and then onto the roof of our house..

This is an ugly sight.
Change is needed.
Stay posted.
