Home "Improvements"

Hey everyone, there have been a lot of 'improvements' on the home front lately. We have recently been blessed with a gaping hole in front of our house and a few other additions.

The hole is for the new drain pipe which we are sure would have been helpful in the torrential downpour that we had last week.

On the good side our driveway has received a fresh coating of gravel/rocks and a fun reflective construction horse..

The "Big Dig" takes up most of our block.

Here is Tim standing next to our mailbox that was removed from the ground and propped up against our fence. Needless to say the mail people have had some adventures getting our mail into the box - or they just don't deliver our mail.

On a side note - I am not sure why the picture is still sideways but if you would just turn your head you will see that the mailbox is now taller than Tim.




This is our current pride and joy - the grill. It has a cool side burner for sauces and such.


Being able to get a grill has been one of our favorite parts of this place. We have already cooked quite a few things and are looking forward to more great tasting food.





Another addition has been this great Fire Pit. We know that its a bit trendy but we are both harboring some pyromania tendencies and could not pass up the opportunity to have a place to make our own fire.

We are looking forward to cooking some 'smores on this in the near future






Finally, we added some festive lighting to our deck. We like to pretend that we are partying like rock stars whether its just us or a group of folks on the deck.

We are also hoping that rock stars shop at Target for their twinkle lights.







In Other News...


Tim and I went to the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission to transfer the titles and re-register our cars. We also had to get new license plates and by pure accident we ended up being in line right after one another and wound up with matching license plates.


So now we have matching cars and matching license plates... SUPER!

We hope that you liked the pictures of our recent "improvements". If you have suggestions for future improvements please let us know.
