The other day I was on Pinterest and this picture popped up that someone had pinned from the HGTV site. (I had originally uploaded it to the RMS site) How exciting to see our backyard! It was our old one that we put years and years into making our own. We moved from there a few years ago, but have great memories of the place.
Here it was when we moved in in 2000. Yes, a bit rough!! :)
When we first redid this area, we had a swing set, as our kids were in grade school. They loved that thing! After they outgrew it, we put our firepit up there. It was such a great place to relax!
This is actually after we had cleaned it up quite a bit. I remember lots and lots of 2x6's stacked against the fence, rotting.... I think the prior owner's plan was to build raised beds. Because the soil is clay, clay, and more clay, a lot of people do make raised beds. We decided to rototill truckloads of compost in instead.
Max would play for hours, chasing racquetballs. When he'd get tired, he knew exactly where to cool off. He would lay in the second level with the cool water flowing on his back. He would set his racquetball down and it would stay right there until he was ready to play some more. :) HGTV also had this picture on their site for Pets in the Yard. Max was a star! :)
Thanks for your visit!
