Measure Change by the Yard

After marrying Daddy, Mommy made plans for the old backyard. She dreamed of a nice, neat and safe area for her children to play. That goal was going to take some work. The space originally was overgrown with trees, shrubs and vines allowing some privacy from the neighbors. The old garage was shabby, but solid. The first few years she manicured the vegetation, but the rest was on the back burner until this spring. Property damage from the hurricane and ice storms along with the school removing the trees and replacing the chain link fence forced us to address our backyard. The garage remodeling involved lengthening it by four feet, adding a new English Tudor facade with two overhead doors, replacing the roof and painting it inside and out. The overhead utility lines where relocated underground and a new picket fence was added. We are all proud of the backyard now.
