The Latest on the Lowes

We started this blog to share the transformation of our 1926 fixer...but with time and the addition of kids it has become my way of documenting two childhoods...the triumphs, moments of hilarity, lessons learned and everything in between.

Yard...now with fence!


Yes, it's another yard post. But how could I not share the magnificence that is the fence Chris built with his own two hands? That, coupled with the beauty bark Rich helped us get, had turned out once painfully hideous yard into a source of pride. Now I actually WANT to be seen in front of my home!

We also got a few man-made rocks and a small boulder from Sky Nursery (our new favorite place for all things yard). They're the best - they weigh a tiny fraction of real rock, yet look just as good. Chris felt quite manly hoisting the large one into the car. A woman in the parking lot, not realizing they are made from a composite material, commented on how strong he is. Uh, yeah lady, Chris can list 1,200 pounds all by himself...we're submitting him to Guinness.

Here are some close-ups the front area with fence and rocks:
