Landscaping Update

The front path has been extended all the way across the front yard:

Across the front of the house we have planted Yucca Cane, and a colorful assortment of Hibiscus:

Besides our neighbor’s yard we planted more Hibiscus, and some bright red Ixora.

Here is the Eric Garden Memorial*, consisting of a bottle palm, two large, purple Hawaiian Ti, a pair of smaller Dracaena and a few Persian Shield plants (bright purple).

*Special thanks to Eric for helping us remove the stump-o-death last month.


New Washer & Dryer

September 5, 2008

After the flood, the old washer and dryer finally died.

We decided to build a cabinet in order to hold the new washer & dryer a few inches off the ground.

We decided to include a section for the sink, complete with backsplash.

We found a great deal on some tile on clearance sale, so we decided to tile it.

A little bit of molding really helped pull everything together.

Final step: we added the sink, and a small door for the sink cabinet.

As you can see, I’m very happy with how it came out.

Also: behind the cabinet you can see the new water heater.
