WOW the summer has came and gone, I am looking forward to the long fall weather!

Over the summer my relatives wanted to host a party and thought that would be a great time to update the back porch.  I figure it would be a great project for me to work on.  Designing, landscaping, and a workout all wrapped up in one.

Most of the products we used were purchased from a big box store, and two local gardening shops. Unfortunately, one of the local family stores went out of business as we were wrapping up. I did most of the labor, and with the temperature averaging 95+,  it usually was during the morning hours.  Working during the evening was bearable temperature wise, but since the property is in a wooded area, there were to many irritating insects.

One of my good friends does remodeling and I always get on his case about not taking “before” pictures, and what do I do,  forget to take the “before” pictures. But I was able to get some really good after photos.  Hope you enjoy.
