Among things we have found and gotten rid of (I wish we would have taken more photos right at the beginning...but really we wanted to just get to work): computer screen, computer chair, rolling shelf, chain link fence gate (this was buried under dirt), lots of metal rods/poles, bricks, concrete, an old fountain filled with dirt (that was handmade), pogo stick, baby blanket, two hockey sticks, pry bar, two wheelbarrows (which we've fixed and are using, but the tire keeps going flat on one of them so we just keep pumping up the tire), two stand up lamps were just in the backyard (we cleaned them up and are now using them in our bedroom!).
It's been pretty hilarious what we've found and each time we are less and less surprised to find something random. Little by little we'll continue to improve Little Mexico and hopefully make it inhabitable!
Our backyard...in process of improvement,
which is actually much better than the way we found it!
Our patio, which before was covered with trash and you could barely walk on it!
mounds of dirt we have yet to dig up...who knows what we'll find!
The truck load of concrete Jenna and I took to a concrete collecting place.
We had to throw these all in by hand and back out by hand. We felt like rugged women!
Our side yard...getting better.
The pile of rocks is what we saved out of the stone fountain that was under a bunch of dirt there in the far corner.
Anyone want some gravel and rocks? We have plenty!
Tobin groomed the Ponytail tree out front.
Well, if you come over for a weekend, I'm sure we'd love to have you join in on the fun!
I guess it's a good thing that Jenna has that really big truck we were commenting on ;)
