Re-vamped Back Porch!

The soon-to-be hubby finally got his friends together this past weekend and finished "cleaning up" our back porch! I'm sooo happy!

A little story behind this:

These two little nugget heads literally busted through every single one of my screens on the enclosed back porch! My black labrador Savannah is quite the ball of energy and so she just decided one day she was tired of waiting for me to open the door to the back porch *sigh*

The porch got sooo dirty because of this and the bugs would come in and make it look horrible, so I had enough and I got rid of the two picnic tables we used as seating on the porch and decided to formulate a plan to make our porch prettier and "puppy proof." See below for a before picture!

Dog hair was piling up, MUD and DIRT were caked onto the concrete. It was just awful! Notice Nugget Head #1 getting into the trashcan. *sigh*x2

The guys worked for 2 whole days and finally Walt and Jason finished up everything and even repainted the whole porch (and said that Walt's fiance and I needed to get together and buy them a paint sprayer for Christmas - Psh!) and wa-la!

Jason and I bought a new patio set from the new Big Lots they opened in Bowie. I put the table together all by myself (which Jason didn't believe I would be able to pull it out of the garage by myself LOL) but I left the swivel chairs to be assembled by him because woo boy did that have a lot of instructions for two little chairs! Sheesh!

Anyway, that was our little home project over the weekend. We've slowly been trying to do some cosmetic updates to the house to make it look better. Being a homeowner, there's always some project or something that needs to be fixed. Am I right?!
