Mr. Handyman!

Bob has made quite a lot of improvements around our house since we have moved in. I have loved watching him use his handyman skills to make our house look better. He has loved having a garage and a backyard to work in!

The Backyard

Bob took some big slabs of stone that were in our back yard and broke them into pieces and made this nice planter out of them. I was very impressed!

Painting the house

When we moved in the house was painted in bright Purple, Green and Yellow paint. And the rest of the walls were painted with flat white paint. So the first to go was the bright purple and green, (we still haven't gotten to the yellow in our bedroom). The next to go was the flat white paint, flat paint is the worst when you have kids. It is impossible to clean. Bob painted our entire living room in one week (usually after he came home from work) and finished just before we picked his parents up from the airport (back in May).

Bob decided he wanted a bench.

so he made one with the extra wood that was left over from the deck.

He has also kept busy keeping all of the plants and flowers alive that he planted around the yard and on the back deck. I don't have a picture of them at full bloom, but we had strawberries, peas and lots of pretty flowers.
