At my own home, this summer is the time home improvements are being done. I am a firm believer that you need to be able to enjoy your home and any updates you might do, while you live in the home. On the left, is my backyard before and on the right, is my backyard currently. At first, I just wanted the old chain link replaced with privacy fence, but somehow brick pavers fell into place and next the remainder of the chain link in front will be replaced with ironwork. It seemed to make more sense to remove the old gravel parking space I never used and also have it pavered in brick. It now extends the outdoor living space, but a wide gate will allow future homeowners the option to park there.
There's more, but I will save that for another post.
