C is for Concrete Blocks

Eric was talking to a co-worker the other day about how we wanted to build a concrete-stone wall in front of our house and she just so happened to have some that she was about to get rid of!! So, Friday after work Eric drove the truck to her house and picked up over 150 stones! Saturday was such a gorgeous day, so we spent most of it building (well, Eric and Tyler mostly.. I was hanging out with the baby). I did wash the cars though! Once the wall's built we can go pick out some beautiful flowers to plant. Neither of us really have a "green thumb" so Eric's mom said she'd help us out on what flowers would go best there since it's in FULL sun most of the day! I'm so excited.. it's going to look much better!

This is what the front looked like- BEFORE

Tyler ready to help.. he even has his own shovel!

Here comes the wall... AFTER
Stay tuned for the FINAL touches once we add the flowers, etc.

Fence'm in... Part 2

Eric and our good friend John took off work Friday to finish digging the holes for the fence and WOW did they finish it all in no time! It turned out that they needed a different size (longer) drill bit. They were able to dig about 20 holes in 4 hours as opposed to 4 holes in nine hours! Great job you guys! By the end of the day Eric had only 2 more to go, but he needed a one man auger since the holes were so close to the house. He got up early Saturday morning to finish those and once the holes were all dug, he started with the fence. It's gonna look so good! I'm so proud of my hubby; he sure is amazing!

Check out this fence in the making...
