Before and After

When we bought this house last year, we knew it wasn't our dream house, but it was certainly priced right and has 4 bedrooms, which with 3 kids is the most important thing ever! We had so many things that we knew right away we wanted to work on, improve, change, etc, but with Hank deploying so quickly after moving, we also knew it was going to be a long, slow process. Almost a year later and we are finally getting some of the work started and done. One of the first things you noticed about the house was the lack of any sort of landscaping. I honestly think the previous owners just threw the bushes in the yard and wherever they landed they planted them there. We have spent just about every free moment for the last few weeks working on the front yard and the flower beds. And although the plants are young and have plenty of growing to do, I can honestly say I am so much happier with how things are looking.
This is how the house looked when we bought it. We have changed light fixtures, pressure washed walkways, painted the door and redone the flower beds. I am so proud of all the hard work Hank has put in to make things look so much better!



Finally, all done!
