So This Is September.... And Here's the Quick List of Recent House Projects!

It's been a little while since we've posted a house project update, but so much has been happening!!!  Zach finished out the cedar planter benches and we were able to find some really beautiful ornamental grasses for the boxes (we need to update this photo with one of the planted boxes!!! On the list!).  Of course Sagus and Bailey have taken to grazing them!!!  Training opportunity in-progress.  Zach also used some of our cedar to build a planter in front of the coop similar in style to the benches and that has since been planted with some gorgeous red mums which are thankfully unappetizing!  This past weekend Zach used some of our salvaged brick to build a small patio in front of the coop and it looks amazing and was a great solution to a grass dead-zone that was mucky and muddy at any sign of percipitation.  Oh and we finally finished the new/old door complete with antique mortise lock set!   It looks fantastic and was such an improvement over the old red door.  Next steps!!!  Paint the stairway in a faux linen finish... AND craft a stairway storage system (this one is still in the drawing and erasing stage).  There's also a newel post and banister installation in there somewhere and something about driveway gravel! Oh wait... and a trash/recycling storage shed in the works if we don't run out of cedar from building planters, because you can never have enough planters!!!  Phew... I'm exhausted.

Finished Cedar Benches!!!  Minus awesome ornamental grasses missing ends grazed by fuzzy beasts...
