We’re getting so close, I can taste it. This will probably be the last photo I share until we’re done, to preserve a little element of surprise. Can’t wait to show the finished result.

Haven’t posted in a few days because not much has happened for a few days. But today, things really started to take shape. Before, my back yard undulated like hills on a putt-putt golf course, for reasons passing understanding. The new layout deals with the slope by terracing the yard with this cool cor-ten weathering steel (you can see the same stuff used in my neighbors’ garden on the left).
I’m still kind of blown away by the changes, though it’s still basically just a mud pit. But I can finally visualize the end result now, and I think it’s gonna be good.

Well, we’ve reached the point that I’m having to take the pups to the front yard to do their business, as the back is a muddy wreck. But it’s pretty exciting to see it happen. I bought the house and moved in while they were still finishing the original back yard, so I’m familiar with Georgia red clay. This time I’m so much more excited about what’s coming next, I don’t even care.

Somebody call Ron Paul, because it’s happening! Time for my ugly backyard to get a little uglier before it gets more beautiful.

Found at Citizen Supply in Atlanta.
Well, it’s official. My ugly backyard is about to become a lot less ugly.
Sadly, there was one casualty in the process—turns out there wasn’t room in my budget for the concrete work I mentioned before. Still, they’re going to be building some planters out of cor-ten weathering steel, which I think are going to be amazing.
This is my ugly backyard. I wanted to get a complete view of it now, because I hope to be making some pretty substantial changes soon. In the meantime, I’m just confusing the h*ck out of Kramer and Maggie with all these roped-off areas.
Tonight’s sunset in Reynoldstown, Atlanta. My tiny glimpse of a view of the downtown skyline through the trees is my favorite thing about winter.
