I try to be as busy as I can be working on my lawn~scaping project.
The Summer months are my busiest months.
My husband David (Mushroom Buyer) is home all day long trying to rest up and I have a very long list of "Honey~Do's" for him to assist me with.
My physical abilities are easily disturbed when I do something I shouldn't or I just move wrong and then my work project is done for a few days so I try very hard to work like a turtle, a little bit at a time!
1.) I still need to gather poles so I can finish the Pole Gazebo roof yet it looks amazing right now!
2.) Acquire new recycled wood supplier.
3.) Finish remodeling chicken pen roof (1/2 done).
4.) Remodel roof area on my workshop and "R n R" Hut before the rain starts.
5.) etc.....
I finally acquired a large collection of recycled windows for my pallet wood green house and a home made hot tub~spa room. Now all I need is more misc., building material scraps.
I found an idea for a home made hot tub with a BBQ that is attached by the tubing used to heat the tub. What a brilliant idea! So, I also have a cattle water trough-new, that was given to me and was planning on using it for the hot tub!
I placed the recycled waterfall tray along side of the medium sized swimming pool I use and set up the lines to the main barrel and waterfall pump. Am working on how to make a good home made in line pool filter.
My husband split and cut more cedra for the bottom of the Gazebo.
We cut Yew wood slabs and started making the wood walkway around the yard for a path and my Peacock snuck into the garden for some nibbles on the variety of blossoms.
The white gutter laying inside the garden along the poles I had used this Spring to start my leaf lettuce and spinach. I wrapped it lenght wise with 2 layers of plastic wrap and it worked wonderfully.
It looks much better than this picture now. I do mow the grass. This is showing the flower bed trimmed with poles and the pallet fence with misc., wood pieces my husband has brought in for my garden-yard-haven.
This was taken in the early Spring but I wanted to show the wood benches my husband made for the gazebo. He made 3, the one in front of the BBQ Pit, one on the left inside the Gazebo and another out side along the hanging wood wall. Each are made from a Madrone log cut in half and are mounted in the ground.
As you can see from the pictures I am always trying to work on at least one are.
I have down loaded newer pictures yet I have so many I am having trouble finding them so I will go outside and get new photos with the lawn all mowed and you can see exactly what all of this NOW looks like.
I feel the need to say thaat ALL OF MY YARD/GARDEN AREA IS AND WAS MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIAL!! Pallets, wood logs, wood decks, porches, nails, screws salvaged from wood debris (decking-porches), fencing pieces, poles, tree trimmings, firewood pile, neighbors wood garbage pile (folding doors and a home made ping pong table I took apart for wood),old decommissioned road signs, lattice pieces, hinges, ALL OF THIS!!
I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I am enjoying my "Haven"
