In the Trenches

The yard work continues as we Till, Tamp, dig trenches for the drip system, lay pvc, and cover up the trenches

Hello Ugly!

Isn't this the ugliest caterpillar? Maybe he'll make an exceptionally beautiful butterfly? I hope so because they're all over our yard.

Boat Gate

Yay! The boat is finally off the driveway and behind the fence. We still need to figure out a long term solution for it to sit on, it's just on grass, but the gate is done! We ordered a metal gate from online sunk some new posts, and we're able to pretty much just attach the old fence back on. It took all day and we ended up with almost no visible difference in the fence. (but we consider that a good thing)

Spring has sprung in Austin!

Our peach tree has some of the prettiest blossoms. Yay for spring!

Yard Work Part 1: Fence Posts

 This Saturday we started our spring overhaul of our yard. First project is to build a gate wide enough for the boat to fit through so that we can store it on the side of the house... instead of the driveway.

It was a pain and required a LOT of phone calls but we finally managed to get everyone out to mark out lines (well except water). It turned out to be a really good thing because for some reason our gas line runs right under the corner of our fence to our neighbors. We had to shift our posts a little bit because we were only a foot away from this line. As much fun as it would have been to see what happens when you hit a gas line with a post hole digger we thought we'd pass.

Next weekend: actually building the gate & weed round-up 1
