Good start. Fence out back, done. Grading and fill on the house sides, done.
Side hill cleared out of underbrush and 10 ground-cover juniper scrubs planted, done.
Driveway expansion, done.
*New front fence, done. Leo is going to stain and seal it in 30 days. The wood needs to sit first.

Next: Paint the garage to match the house.
Repaint all shudders hunter green. They're fading.
Deck to be installed by side garage door.
Deck to be redone in front of the house.
New garage barn-style doors.
Steps to be redone in the backyard.
*Pavers with a couple step downs will be installed by front gate. They will connect with the pavers already in the yard. Kind of a paver landing by the front gate and then again where they'll meet with the current paver path.
That will make it less of a slope for walking down the yard on snowy days.

Today I'm moving my hydrangea and seeding the lawn. The lawn needs help, but it has had a lot of traffic on it, so all in good time.
I'm also throwing grass seed at the edge of the woods where the water pretty much drowned everything.
The beavers are still gone, but the remnants remain.
In the long run, the beaver flooding was probably healthy for the woods.
All the native wetland trees lived. The invasive underbrush and other trees died.
Mother Nature is always working!

That should cover the outside. Then inside begins. I lucked out, my neighbor Leo is doing all the labor with a couple of his guys for a very decent price.
It helps to have a talented, home repair neighbor. I think it will eventually help Leo and his wife too. They want to move somewhere along the Florida/Georgia line someday. My eventual home sale will help the price of their home sale.
Hopefully! That's the plan anyway.
