I mentioned we wanted a few places to sit around the yard. We bought this bench at Walmart a few weeks ago but had to pull out several overgrown bushes and things to get it ready. On an earlier blog I showed us taking out the bushes behind the house but finally Dave did the rock work so we could put it in.
In this picture you can see where it is. Since I took this picture I finished painting the stairs so they are all black instead of 2 toned. We also planted the small Rododendrens to fill in where we took things out. It is looking nicer all the time.
I painted the railings and changed them from brown and white to black. We also planted a few flowers. Pretty Huh?
Last Friday I went to a Garage sale and bought this glider bench. It is real comfortable and was cheap so I loved it. Mom and Pops really enjoy it too.
I painted it
Mom loves it! Looks a little different doesn't it?
I told you that Dave and Joel were putting a second story in the barn. It will give us quite a bit of new storage space.
They are putting down the floor.
They put a rail on the front and opened a door from the other room and wolla it is done! Uncle Leo cane over to check it out and started cleaning up some of their mess. We always love it when he comes. Well, that is it until we start another F U N F U N project!!

Boy! Does your place look awesome I had no idea that Uncle Dave was so handy sure miss you guys.
Awesome!! It looks so great! I love that cute bench and the glider, too!
It all looks so wonderful!! You said you also planted some flowers, at first I thought you said you also painted some flowers. With your luck w/ spray paint, I wonder if both might be true:) You're never going to get Aunt Helen & Uncle John to come visit again, they won't be willing to leave such a showplace!!
with all the extra room in the hey loft now, maybe we need to have another sleep over with all us grandkids and grandma!!! just a thought. =]
man you guys have all the fun!! can't wait to see it in person!
It looks amazing! The newly painted bench and stair rail look so great. I want to come visit and sit in the peaceful yard. It all looks so inviting.
