My Amazing Husband

Most posts on the blog are about the antics of my little ones. Today I am going to boast about the accomplishments of my husband. We put off buying a house for quite a long time and one of the reasons was that we didn't want all our time filled with home projects. They can be so difficult, time consuming and frustrating. But Derek decided to take a couple head on!
When we bought our house it had a large storage area for the garbage cans right in front of the house. Strange. Derek finally dimantled it and used the doors to build a gate for the side of the house that didn't have one. AWESOME! It is so much better than the rigged up baby gate that was there before.
The house without the garbage can holder.

He also decided that when we removed the hot tub that we should rebuild the surface of the deck. It was lots more work than we thought it would be (more time consuming), but it looks amazing!

Hey Derek, the house looks great without the garbage barricade. The gate looks awesome.
