Finally, before & after pics of yard
Comments (10)Hey Shauna. Could you actually see Cameron in there? I've got better ones. Anyway I ordered through Saskatoon Farm because I was looking for seedlings rather than more mature plants because I spent so much on the wall and the soil & mulch that's all I could afford LOL. If you know of other places I'd love to hear about them. I'd also like to know where you order annual and perennial seeds. At the back where I'm wanting the fence to disappear I've got two existing Crapapples, and two immense Griffin Poplars and last year added a good sized Thunderchild Crabapple and a Mayday. My sticks this year are Pincherry, Dogwood, Sandcherry - not purple leaf, Highbush cranberry, Alpine currant, Cotoneaster, Lodgepole pine (at the side with the spruce), Amur maple, Sugar maple for trees & shrubs and I still desperately want a 'Toba' Hawthorn and a Scotch Pine plus I added some Dropwort and Meadowsweet I grew from seed. I'd really like to get my hands on some Goatsbeard. In amongst the boulders themselves a few nesting spruce, blue star juniper, horizontal juniper and mugo pine, and for perennials some 'Waterfall' campunula, cranesbill geranium, yarrow, coral bells, rockcress, shepherds scabiosa, lamium, Gentiana 'Nikita Blue', penstemon and bergenia for now. I'll want to start some creeping phlox and haven't thought about anything else yet as I'm thinking I still need a few smaller rocks - about a couple of feet to hold parts of that slope and to plant around. Whew! I did all that? Kate...See MoreBefore and After: back yard
Comments (2)Oh man, Connie--I am so sorry that you have had to have such devastation in your yard!! But---I just bet you will have it looking great before long---it will be incentive to bounce back even quicker--if you have any 'say' about it, that is! :o(...See MoreA major 2014 project nearly complete~before during and after pics
Comments (20)Melsouth, the floor wasn't difficult, it was just tedious, and the smell was pretty bad. If you notice in the pic, DH had a fan ventilating to the outside. It took a few days to cure. It chipped in a few spots when heavy objects were dropped, but DH says he can patch it up easily. We opted not to tile or put any sort of flooring down for two reasons. One was to save money as we have several other huge projects (new main bath) we would rather spend money on. Second is we live in a flood prone town. We have been here 7 years and did not flood with storms Irene or Sandy, however we didn't want to take a chance. Once our drain the the sewer backed up and we were able to easily clean up. The floor is pitched towards the furnace area where are sump pump is. We opted for a black ceiling after I started taking note of how many people simply paint their ceilings black. DH found the black ceiling tiles at HD and thought that would be easier. Since he was installing it, I wanted to do what was easiest for him. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. He also put a full bath in down there. Our main 2nd floor bathroom had a major leak and needs to be completely redone. Since we are mostly DIYers, it will likely take time and now we have a 2nd full bath in the house. It's not quite complete yet....See MoreComplete IKEA Kitchen Renovation Before & After
Comments (54)@sushipup1 - yep! do you have an email address? I'll send you his contact info. I don't think he's on houzz, otherwise I'd just link his profile. @The Patchman Roofing Company- Thank you so much! @Oliviag- Thank you! Honestly, for the amount of time it took, I have absolutely no complaints. From demo to done, I think all in we were about four weeks and change, including waiting for countertop fabrication. It's hard remembering there was ever a different kitchen, honestly. It's so perfect for our aesthetic and our house - it was absolutely worth it!...See MoreJilly
