Darlene and I moved in January of 2002.  The house has been evolving since the day we moved in.  We couldn't be any happier!!!  There are kids all up and down the quiet street and I actually like my neighbors....... :-).  First, here is a pic or two of what I did to the front yard.  I poured a little concrete and rolled out some sod for the the lawn.

Next, I needed a place to put the Jet Ski's [not that they get used :-( ]  Here is what I did after talking the neighbor into letting me do it.

Then Came the backyard.  What the hell was I thinking?!!  Darlene and I decided to buy a Dough Boy pool off the web for cheap.  I decided I was going to sink it into the ground 2 feet and then build a 2 foot tall deck around it.......well, I started digging ......... by hand .......

DUMBASS!!!

Ok, So after two weeks of digging every night after work, I am only 16 inches deep by 18 foot diameter!!  That is as deep as it is going to get!!!!!!!  So, now the plan is 18 inches deep and a 32 inch tall deck around it, right?  I sure as hell hope so.

So the pool comes in and I forgot to take pics while building it, so here is a pic after pool is built, but before Deck is completed...........

Well, Then I forgot to take any pics until the deck was just about done.  I get caught up in the stuff and forget to document things..........shhhhhh........don't tell Duane Huff.  Anyway, here are is a couple pics of the almost finished product.

And then a couple of the finished product!!!  Bad time of the day for these pics........
