We are excitedly preparing for a frontyard make-over. Our neighbor, Sonia, is a landscaper who made us a fantastic plan. First step is to prep the area by removing the ivy and grass.
The front seems so much bigger now.

By the end of Saturday, the whole front was cleared of grass, pittosporum, and roughly terraced. We had two guys helping Chris (so this picture is a bit misleading...)
Next up: Napa Basalt rock walls and three boulders.
The plan!
Meanwhile, some of us could care less about azaleas and woodwardia fimbriata.
Above house project: insulating the attic. Chris is such a trooper, crawling into narrow spaces with mask and goggles. He has completed most of the living and dining room space.
Recent festivities around the house: Chris's birthday jam with Govinda, Zach, Nikko, and Avery.

And when he isn't bathing, he is working quite hard.
