House Projects

Paul has been working on some projects around the house this spring.

We have been having some issues with the dogs being in the garage during the day. When my dad is here it isn't an issue because he lets them out. They were not handling being stuck inside while we were at work(at our last house they had a kennel and could go outside). We decided that we'd cut out a doggy door to the kennel that we had on the side of the house.



Now they could go from the garage to outside. This made it that we could leave them home when we went to St George for the weekend with a neighbor feeding and walking them. It's been great....except they were getting a ton of dirt into the garage. Paul spent yesterday building up the area with pavers and retaining walls.

It turned out really nice. Hopefully it keeps our garage clean!



The other project Paul worked on was some landscaping in the front yard. We had never done much with the "flower garden" that was under the front window. It always was just weeds and messy. Paul cleaned it all up and extended it out by the front landing. It turned out really nice.



He then painted the landscape timbers of the flower beds and got them all weeded and with new mulch.



It looks really nice. He's been hard at work. Only a couple more projects left and then hopefully we can enjoy the summer.
