DIY...Rives Style

Josh and our friends, Chris and Michael, have spent the past couple of weekends demolishing our backyard deck. Here is how our backyard use to look....don't be fooled...it looks nice, but many of the boards are old and rotten...




The boys hard at work...and play...




My personal favorite...


3,600 pounds of top soil, 200 squares of sod, a ginormous possum playing possum, a very funny encounter with a jack hammer, 3 nasty trips to the city dump, a broken finger (Josh's) and 3 weeks later our backyard now looks like this...





We have a ways to go before it's completely finished....landscaping will come in the Spring....but we're loving it so far! Chloe and Kaci are enjoying their new backyard too! Thanks so much to Chris and Michael who gave up 2 of their weekends to help Josh....y'all are the best!
