It took some serious convincing on Joey’s part to get me to agree to it. That thing is huge.” and Joey was all “Yes way. When we saw it initially, set up on this high platform at Costco, I was all “No way. The “Clarington Resort” (Huh-huh!) was purchased with our tax refund, and despite it’s massive size (it’s nearly 22-feet long including the slide), it’s actually quite charming with all the trees, all nestled up into the corner of our yard.
LIVING EARTH DECOMPOSED GRANITE CODE
This monstrosity should have it’s own zip code if you ask me, thus the term “playset” does not suffice. That’s the actual name of the playset, which we found at Costco.
We jokingly refer to this giant child-haven as the “Clarington Resort” (insert hoighty-toity accent and French-sounding “huh-huh!“). We love just chilling out here with a glass of wine (or coffee - I remain convinced that coffee and wine can solve the world’s problems) while Lucas plays on this… Isn’t the new retaining wall swell? All the heart eyes. He also built a stained wood surround for our HVAC unit (the inspiration for which I found on Pinterest). We started by cleaning up the porch, and I sealed and enriched the terracotta floor, Joey replaced the moldy boards overhead, we had the exterior of the house painted, and Joey installed a new stone retaining wall (along with better drainage and many plants). It was dirty, with spots of mold on the ceiling, and a decrepit railroad tie retaining wall which did nothing more than collect moisture and insects. I’m nothing if not helpful.įirst, let’s take a look at our covered patio shortly after moving in… I had very little to do with it aside from taking pictures of him working. And then give Joey a virtual pat on the back because he did this all himself. Now, keep in mind that “after” isn’t really a legit term since nothing is completely done yet. Before and after pics are totally my favorite things.
LIVING EARTH DECOMPOSED GRANITE MANUAL
😉Īnd now, thanks to all that manual labor, I also get to stare at our newly beautiful back yard as well. Relaxing on the sofa (I was sick that day) while a hot man performs manual labor in plain sight is pretty much living the dream (especially if you’re married to pictured hot man). First, I get to stare at this all the time…
