Ch ch changes....




We have torn out our side deck and patio and are hoping to have people start today on the new and improved version. I say hoping because it is virtually impossible to find any trades type people to come out and do anything at our house. Mitch even tried calling home depot to get a second quote on this and well lets just say that after spelling where we live over and over again, giving them our postal code and telling them which store was closest. They finally called back two days later from a store that is almost an hour away. He told them again that there is a closer store and which one it was and they agreed that was the store who should be calling us and we haven't heard from them since. Much like the 3 months it took us to find someone to put in a new patio door. Anyway here is the demo photo on the left. And on the right, a picutre of our new 'sitting garden'. There is an actual garden beside the wishing well - not a great photo. I think eventually there will be more gardens and benches and possibly paths through it. But this is what we have done so far.
