Brick Patio Remodel

November 10, 2022
When I bought this home, I knew it would need work. The outdoor patio was a disaster but also a hazard. They use indoor tiles outdoor. Who does that? Not only did it not withstand the cold, but it was also very slippery when wet—causing a tripping hazard.

I needed to address this immediately! Just look at all those cracks and loose tiles!!

It’s a nice size patio. And once the bricks were installed, it was more functional.

 

Creating Storage/Work Area Outdoor

September 29, 2022

When I added my new tool shed, it created an area that wasn’t being used behind the shed. So I thought it would be an excellent area to store some hidden items from view and easy access.

I wasn’t sure how to handle that area, but I knew I wanted a clean look. Putting grass behind there was not feasible. Hard for the landscapers to get to. I didn’t want to use gravel, weeds would grow there, so I thought, why not astroturf. Looks clean, is easy to install, you can cut it with scissors, and best of all, there are no weeds!

 

Wasted Space!

I hang up my hoses, ladders, and shovels

A great place to do my projects.
