Home Improvments

I've managed to make a few dints in my to do list. (I outsourced a good portion of it!) Here's a glimpse of some of the home improvements we made over the summer:

Anyone who's visited knows the front step was a hazard. Now you can approach the house with ease. We hired someone to pour the step and then I repainted the porch.



A second hazard (at least for our attempts to sale the house) was the lack of privacy in the backyard. I'd already redone the back deck to make it cute and useful, but I was a bit stumped about how to create some privacy from the apartments behind us. My mom and dad came and built the frame and then I added the curtains.
