So Much For Being Ignored...

So remember when I said I didn't want to be FEATURED on the Garden Walk, I just wanted my house to be "ignorable"... Well...

Siiiigh. How can I say no to something this hilarious? Well, maybe this was the best cover for the front yard AC unit!

Anyway, as per usual, the to-do list expectations exceeded the ability to actually do them, BUT, I'm happy with the progress made. First up, the walk way:

Before:

After:

(this was a sh!t-ton of work, surprisingly... that's annoying...)

The porch; 

New moulding, primed, full update coming soon...

The driveway;

Still a hot mess (shock me shock me shock me!)

Back door;

Likewise

Back of house;

Trip to "the dump" planned... for reals...

And the crown jewel of our new "curb appeal"... the garden!

Let's see what took so long... as we discussed, there was rototilling...

then plant transplanting

and then topsoil

then more tilling...

then plant planning...

with Brick supervising...

then mulching and finallyyyyyyy...

Let's remember before, shall we? (because that's the only thing that makes this impressive, haha!)

Before:

Afterrrrr:

(will be replacing sucky sun-flarey photo tomorrow...) SO we still need to redo the flagstone pathway, and line the garden with the bricks we found on the side of the house, AND cover that massive eyesore of an AC unit... BUT... le sigh, it's ignorable. :)

So our garden was definitely not the star of the Garden Walk... but I don't think anyone noticed... 

We're stars for better reasons... with neighbors like these, who cares about the effing garden anyway? :)
