OUTDOOR PROJECT UPDATE #2

In the last update, I had all the shrubbery removed. Check the before and after here. This time, I had everything else demoed.

Do I need a holly tree?













Nope, cut that sucker down.








Time to take out the stump, because I don't need no stinking stump or holly tree!







Do I need these hedges?









Or these hedges?









Or these?









What about these hedges?









Nope, I don't need no stinking hedges here!








Or here!








What about a deck?









Do I need a deck?








I don't need no stinking deck?








Retaining wall?









I don't need no stinking retaining wall.








I DON'T NEED NOTHING!








Okay, maybe I need something.
How about a giant elevated patio and swimming pool area bigger than my entire frigging house?



Yes, I think I like that idea.
What about you?

You betcha and bring all your girl friends. Just have the men drop the girls off out front and come back later to pick them up. Oh yea, clothing is optional!

Does that mean Bill isnt invited?

bookbinder said...

I guess I can make an exception in his case.

I LOVE IT!!!! My pool is my favorite part of my house. I live in Vegas though- Moving from Seattle to the Sun was a big adjustment. Growing up swimming I needed to keep that aspect in the desert. Lake Mead is about 50 minutes from me. Kinda sucky. I am always wishing my pool was bigger. I didn't realize that the size of my pool was smaller when I first saw it I thought WOW.. Pool! Not thinking most had bigger pools. Hah. I'm still loving it though.

Cheers Tony!

I really do love my pool too. I finally have a pool heater and will get a lot more use out of it this year.

Our next trip to Vegas, lets get together. The last time we went we got together with Tara and her brother.

Are you gonna put up a privacy fence or something where all of the shrubs and stuff used to be?
