The Big Screen


U.S. Fence & Yard at Lowe's: 32"W x 46"H Vinyl Utility Screen

We decided we needed some kind of screen at the corner of the house to conceal the dumpster and the recycling bin next to the driveway. Saw some similar screens to this at Home Depot, but I think I am going to look for one with this design because the shape of the top is similar to the curve of the address plate that we got. Probably will leave the spider lilies in front of it so there will be some bright green to coordinate with the house!

Don't Let the Screen Door Hit You


Screen Tight at Lowe's: 30" Vinyl Screen Door

Hemmed and hawed over a new screen door for the front. Didn't want one of those full-glass monstrosities like we had before. I WANTED one like this, but they were so expensive. Noticed a clearance at a local store and on a whim, went over to see if they had anything CLOSE to this kind of scrollwork that I could live with. The remodeling gods were smiling on me that day! To get what I want AND have it on sale??? It is already on our newly painted front door. I couldn't wait!

A Path to Your Door


Clay Paver Bricks versus Concrete Brick Pavers | Home Walkway Patio Construction

This is a great idea for the path from the driveway to the front door (have to go around that big tree!). We already have the concrete form to make this pattern.

You repair things with tools. You FIX things with a hammer.
