| We gave this old, dilapidated greenhouse to our friend, Becca. Six of us literally carried it and walked it over to her yard, just a few blocks away. We got a lot of stares along the way! She is excited to give it new life, and we are excited to have more patio space. |
Project #5: Re-build back fence (and host two bbq's, two weekends in a row, for the two different groups of friends that showed up to help us tear down boards, strong-arm posts, dig holes, hammer nails, etc.)
 |
| we met neighbors we had not yet met thanks to this project, and got to know others better! |
 |
| the fence, ladies and gentlemen |
Project #6, leading to Project #7: Replace two windows and then replace rotted wood found as a result of replacing said windows

Project #8: Build new gate/door for back fence
