Backyard Project

This last Tuesday, we started a little project in our backyard. We tore down that ugly looking trellis and are going to put in a covered patio and basketball court.

The first casualty was the snowball bush. I think Jen was sad to see it go, but I say good riddance. I swear that thing grew six inches a day. It had to be trimmed more frequently than the Bulloch boys need to shave.

As of today, the pad is about ready to be poured. The concrete will go north to the fence and tie in with the concrete pad on the side of the house. The covered part will extend from about where the concrete is now on the left (north) side of the picture to the line where the grass is torn out on the right (south). The concrete is supposed to be poured on Tuesday. I will update as the project continues. Hopefully it will be done in the next two weeks or so.

I will also miss the snowball bush. Sad, sad, sad. You should have tried saving it and moving it somewhere else on the vast Andersonain ranch.

Yes, we Bulloch boys do shave quite a bit...and it gets old. Good luck with the project! Wish I could come work in a yard and help out...
