Moved in and did the yard!




We finally are moved in (and have internet - reason for long wait on updated post). We spent nine full days doing the yard. We did the "do-it-yourself" method so the project took a bit of time. But it was well worth it. We first built a lattus top fence from scratch (no pre-built pannels - that way we can make them whatever size we want!). We also designed and built a gate! After building the fence was the sprinkler system which we paid a guy with a bit more "know how" to be sure it was built right. Then came about two days of getting the ground smooth for grass (lots of tractor ruts from construction). Then we spent a day and a half laying the sod. After a day of tying up loose ends and fixing a few things we are finally done. We have a green lawn, working sprinklers, and a beautiful fence which holds the kids in! Special thanks to Nicole's dad for coming up one weekend and leaving his tools behind. And a large thanks to my dad for coming up for 9 full days of labor intensive work. He never complained, but I think we just about worked him into the ground. But as the pictures show, the house looks great! Once the boxes are unpacked and the house is more put together I'll try and add a video of the inside as well. Thanks for joining us on this journey! We would highly recommend Aho construction to anyone looking to buy/build a house!
