It felt like spring yesterday so we spent some time in the yard. Our side gardens, which flank the patio, have been overrun with weeds and invading grass so while we were cutting back the grasses and flowers and trimming the shrubs, we went ahead and put down landscape fabric. Hopefully it will kill off the weeds and then we can throw mulch over it later this season. In another couple of weeks, weather permitting, we'll start tackling the front of the house, where we need to tear up the old walkway, lay in the new pavers, and regrade the yard. There will be lots of work to do but we're looking forward to getting outside again!
On to house #3! The new challenge: take a 1940, 2700 sq. ft. two-story federal style house in Arlington, VA and turn it into a 4600 sq. ft. house with a modern twist. Back to construction zone living!
