Gazebo & Landscaping

We contracted out most of the landscaping work on the house but Sheehan did a lot of work as well. He trenched the electrical line and built the gazebo we bought from Costco. He then wired the electrical in the gazebo and installed a fire pit.

 

This was my crayon and pen landscaping drawing. The landscaper said it wasn't bad. :)

This was my life...everyday...before the landscaping. Dirt, mud, laundry, baths, repeat. Thank you for grass!

Sheehan is holding up all of the nuts and bolts for the gazebo. There were hundreds. I could never figure out a project like this. He impresses me all the time with his smarts and hard work! I'm a lucky girl.

Enjoying the new fire pit!

Vance went through a "I don't need diapers" phase and decided to work alongside Daddy. I'm sure most construction workers would prefer this when working out in the heat.

Putting up the roof on the gazebo. This is the only part I actually helped with. 

The guys pouring the concrete. 

The rest of the landscaping we contracted out and were a bit surprised by how expensive it was! I keep telling Sheehan I won't be getting a house without landscaping for the rest of my life. We sure do love it though. We've had lots of family dinners and the boys play out there almost every day.

Just laid the sod. 

The finished product. I love it!

The boys love it too.  I love when I catch them sitting together. 

Our little family in our new home. We couldn't be happier.
