Cleaning Up Outside

We've done some major work on the yard & exterior in the last few weeks.  It's amazing what a difference a little yard work can make!


Patrick used Jomax House Cleaner & Mildew Killer to clean the siding.  Here's the before & after shots.



Jomax is super easy to use.  He just mixed up the solution of Jomax & water in a sprayer.  It was applied to the siding, then rinsed off.  Presto!  Mildew was gone & the siding looked like new!

He also got after the yard itself... Remember this?



The whole yard & flower beds were covered in several inches of weeds.  You couldn't even see the grass.  It was awful!!!  Patrick spent hours weed-eating the whole yard & into the beds.  He even found a golf club buried under all the weeds!


Now the yard is cleared out & the grass is beginning to come in.  Patrick put out some Weed & Feed to help it along.


Cassie & Cat are loving the yard!  Cat has even figure out how to get onto the fence.  It took him a little while to figure out how to get down, but he managed.


As for me, I planted some tomatoes & rosemary.  I also got some potted geraniums & dianthus, just to add a little color.  Once the beds are completely cleared out of bushes we'll start planting some azaleas.
