Backyard Improvements

So in lieu of a vacation this summer, Mister & I are dropping some serious money into our backyard. We're getting two decks & a gravel patio built. That of course has necessitated the installation of a drainage system, gutters and some sprinkler system improvements. Hopefully, when all is said and done our backyard will be a lovely, hospitable place rather than the lumpy, uninspired eyesore it was before. We'll also have a place to put a grill so we don't have to haul it out in the driveway when we want to use it.

See the progress for yourself.
