Projects

We did a lot of work on grading the property with Ken Clausing of A+ Construction. He and his crew replaced our septic lines, removed a lot of brush, graded a swale, graded a place for the propane tank, removed stumps and gave us lots of good advice for mountain livin'.

These initial grading projects helped us get a handle on managing the rain and brush that grow relentlessly. We did later projects that used these basic grading projects to build out terraces and increase our firebreak.

As we prepare to break ground on the next phase of construction at the house, I started to go back and record some of the projects we've done over the past few years. I've been sorting through thousands of images taken and trying to slim that down into some interesting reminders of how things used to look.

It kinda depends on where we start in the timeline, but it roughly went like this.

13 years ago, the side yard of the house looked like this. That's a bocce ball court with a xeryscape and brick patio.
