Sprinkler System part 1

Yeah, I'm freaken crazy.  I've decided I need a sprinkler system, and that I should install it myself :)  So I spent a few days researching and planning it out and have come up with a good design for the small and oddly shaped lawn I have to water.  I went ahead and purchased everything I'm gonna need...

Also marked off all the lines in pink string I need to dig up across the lawn...

Media Room Couch

Back to the slowest project ever... my media room... I guess essentials first :) I had planned to have the room done before the custom couches showed up... NOPE! :-)

Raised Garden Beds part 2

Finished! :-)

Raised Garden Beds part 1

This is one of 2 boxes that will be attached at the corners for our flower and vegetable garden.

Since there is such a slope in the backyard, first step was to dig out into the slope...

Then leveled and used block for make shift footers...

Then put on top the assembled cedar bed...

Filled in the sides and bottom of the bed with the original crappy clay soil and compacted...

Then put down a layer of paper to stop weeds...

And then another thin layer of the crappy soil...

And lastly 3-4 inches of enriched garden soil...

Next up will be one more just like this one attached at the corner.
