Ours, too! The only bad part for me is, neither my husband nor I are carpenters, so we could never dream of taking on a project as big as the OP's on our own, and as a result, we've been cheated and screwed over by one contractor after another. We
finally found a reliable one (who else here has ever gotten a final bill that was
less than the original bid?!), so my "curb appeal" project is now almost --
almost -- finished.
I won't bore you with the work in progress, but here are the
before and
current shots. Since it's impossible to tell behind all the overgrowth in the 'before' shot, all of the stonework is new, as is the garage door, driveway, lighting, garden beds (though I still plan to pull out some of the shrubs and put in flowers) and arbor. We even put in a
little pond (that we did on our own!). I can't wait for the plum tree to fill back in with its gorgeous red foliage.
Sorry you never got to finish your room,
