Lupe Has Finished Phase I - August 19, 2011

The first phase of the outside demolition has been completed.  Here is what the front looks like now.

Obviously, there is a lot of work to be done now.  I hope to put in a gravel path and a drought-tolerant garden.

Here is what the back yard looked like before Lupe.  Lots of big rhododendrons and ivy everywhere.

And here are some after shots.

 

We've left the hedge in front for now, but here's someone who'll be sorry to see it go.  This is the neighbor's cat, who spends most of his day lying in the sun in the front yard.
