Taking Tree Out

The first thing I did was to remove the pine tree in the front yard. It kind of covered the house and took away from the front yard. It also was wide enough that the second car behind my truck would open their door into the pine tree and that is just annoying. After removing the tree it really has opened up the front yard.

Tree Gone

Breezeway

The first couple of times I saw the breeze way I wasn't sure if I would use that area or how. Then as I thought about it, I started to get some ideas after looking around the internet and going around to Lowes and Home Depot. Now I think I might just add more gravel in the area and put a small bench across the living room window, you can watch tv outside idea. Then in the right corner maybe build a small worm bed, worms for fishing and compost for plants. Then I could also add a couple of planters and plats out in that area to make it look better. I have also thought about a hammock instead of a bench.

Patio

Right now the patio area is more of a carport and slab behind the garage and back of house. I am going to screen in the carport area so that way during warmer weather you can do sit outside and not have to worry about rain or bugs. I will most likely keep the patio side and yard side just screen and more open, but I'm not sure about the street side. I am going to build privacy fence for the backyard so I might just continue it along the carport area so you get privacy from the street and people can't see your patio furniture.

Front of House

There is a couple of hanging on the columns, for plants or lights, so I'm not sure if I want to put plants out there or put a couple of solar powered light on the hangers. I might put the solar powered lights so at nights the front is light up enough and not have to use electricity or worry about watering.




I'm not sure if I want to keep the pine tree there or take it out. Also their is a little bit of a wooden fence that is kind of falling apart that I might just put it together enough to give that fence look. I will definitely add a lot more gravel to help make the driveway part better.

Utility Room

The uility room isn't any special but it does have enough room for a washer and dryer hookup and being side by side. Has plenty of room for cleaners, brooms, hanging up cloths, etc... so I might use that room more then I think. It also leads to the back yard.

Living Room

The living room is the same size as the dinning room, but again it's nice and cozy for me.

I will have a couch, loveseat, and tv in this room and I would like to add a electric fire place if I have enough room.

Dinning Room Area

I really like the tile floor which in in the dinning room, kitchen, and living room. Their is no carpet in the house so that means any spills are easy to clean and no permanent stain. I also like the color on the walls
