Laboring on Labor Day

Mark off another project from our long list....  Lawn Renovation Complete!

When we purchased this house Eric immediately put a lawn renovation on the To Do list.  This yard had been neglected for years and was over run with weeds.  After spending several weeks getting the sprinkler system back up and running it was time for the major re-seeding project.

By the time I thought to take some photos it was getting late, but the kids even pitched in to help us out.  Amanda helped get the clippings into the bags and cleaned the driveway.

 Logan was in charge to getting the very full bags to the curb for recycling.

It looks ugly now, but in a few weeks it should fill in nicely.

 A cute little white cat watched us from the window.  I'm sure he was wishing he could help us out.

The next morning Eric rented this nifty piece of equipment.  It dropped seeds as it verticut the lawn. It was hot work, but went fairly fast.

I've been working on lots of other projects around the house too.  I'll have to do a before and after post soon to show you our progress.
