Yard Renovations 🌧️
We’ve had ongoing
#flooding in the yard, and after one too many heavy rains, we decided it was time to fix the problem the right way. When we first looked at the Bungalow to purchase, I sunk down a bit in the squishy back yard. Then the
#Airstream sunk down a bit in the squishy back yard.
Then a deluge of rain within 24 hours happened.... so last week we installed French drains to help move water away from the house and keep the ground from staying saturated.
Right now, the yard is torn up with
#trenches and piles of soil, and it’s not the prettiest stage and I keep reminding myself that this is part of the process. The goal is a
#yard that drains properly, stays healthier, and holds up better through the seasons. But, dang, what was pretty green
#grass is now full on dirt. And the
#BabySharks are not happy it happened in their small play yard.
The Baby Sharks are still on porch patrol, watching every step, while we practice patience and trust the long-term plan. 💙
