The Return of Matt

After going dark for about a month during finals, I have resurfaced with some new projects and I am here to update them on the blog. Finals were fine and as a reward I got 2 weeks off. The first week I was occupied with Grandpa and Grandma Serafine visiting from California. They stayed with us a few nights and ended up in a time share resort for a few more nights. We had a good time and enjoyed their company. I also have had a chance to start and finish a few different projects. One major one was the backyard. Those that have visited saw the unfinished and unkept backyard. So, I fixed all of the sprinkler heads, cut down the old summer grass, planted new winter grass, cleaned the planters, built a firepit, planted some plants/trees, and finished a back porch overhang. I also golfed in 75 degree weather last Thursday. All in all it has been a successful break.




It was good to get the sprinklers working.

I love the garden spot! I will have to get all the details about how you put that in. I am in need of all the help I can get to get our garden going in the backyard in the spring.

It looks fantastic. Can't wait to try out the fire pit ;)

Hey guys, it looks great. It looks the same as what you made using paint in the office. Now you only need the swimming pool.
