I was rinsing off the deck and decided it was a good time to take some pictures. For the most part we are finished so I thought I would show you all a few pictures. I couldn't decide which pictures to post so I'm probably being a bit redundant in some of the pictures.

** I could kick myself for planting crepe myrtles around the pool, we are constantly getting the blooms in the pool.

Here are a few more....

Oh wow, that turned out beautifully, BEG! :)

WOW, BEG that turned about great! I'm very jealous.

Not bad for this * economy! :-)

Wow Julie, your back
side yard is stunning! :-)

Thanks guys! :)

Wow -- really fantastic.
And in time for Summer to enjoy it!

I'm trying to get the scale of the thing, though. Any shots of you in a swimsuit to add photographic depth?
:uhsure:

OMGosh, that is the nicest thing you just said. :-*

It's really gorgeous, BEG. How are you liking it? I'd love sitting on that deck. Gorgeous! :-*

That is BAD ASS! :rocker2:
.....but where do you smoke when it rains? :-)

It is so weird, just adding the arbor makes it feel like a room. Totally different feeling. We love it.

No one's perfect. :-)
BTW, can you see the back of your neighbors home from the back of yours? That's my only problem. I'd love to do something like that, but I have 5 houses around me that can peer right into my back yard.
-
Damn, that's nice. That looks like Mr. Miyagi's house.

No, there is no one behind us. THe house behind us is a "farm" that doesn't grow anything or have any animals. We can't see their house from our backyard. It is totally a green belt behind us.
-
BTW, back left corner, is that a Silver Maple or a Fairview Maple?

If you are talking about this tree it is a Shumard Red Oak.

You don't remember Karate Kid, with all the work sanding at Mr. Miyagi's home? All that woodwork, those Koi ponds, etc.? It was awesome.

Yes, there would be much fun had by all. Since it stays hot as hell all the way into October we have plenty of time to do it. :-)

I don't sweat the small stuff. If someone shows up at my house, they better either be a hot chick, or a guy with money. Some fool shows up unannounced, like a DUmmie, he'll be met with a .45 ACP.

You should send pictures to Better Homes and Gardens and some other mags. Those pictures are awesome and I would be willing to bet they would want them in their magazines. You guys did an incredible job! :cheersmate:

It was crepe myrtle flowers and if I had skimmed them out of the water by the time I had put the skimmer away there would be more of them floating in the water. Besides, I took the pictures for family, not for the cover of a magazine you a$$wipe.

I forgot what an a$$ you were while you were MIA. My husband just finished putting the bridge in place yesterday. There are two pieces of wood (each on the ends of the bridge) that were stained yesterday so they haven't aged like the rest of the cedar.

That backyard looks most awesome. I wish I had a friend with a backyard like that.... well I did, but I think she is pissed at me at the moment. :evillaugh:
Comeon..... are you ever going to talk to me again? :naughty:
Re RobJ ... He scores a ten for total turditude. :lmao:

I guess all the women were right. Rob is a ****ing tool.

If it was any cleaner it would not even look natural. Knowing how particiliar you are, it was just cute to see the flowers in the pool....as you like to make sure things are "done right". That is a compliment by the way.
You are the one that notices every piece of dust in the DUmmie photo threads.... :tongue: So I was just being a little critical of your masterpiece of a back yard...like I said, it looks nice...

LOL unfortunately I didn't "get it" the first time we had a pool at our old house. We planted a crepe myrtle fairly close to the pool and the flowers were a PITA. So I decided not only to plant TWO crepe myrtles by this pool, I planted one that gets HUGE as well. I never learn my lesson.

I have had to deal with several pools over the years, and it's always something that seems to blow or fall in, making it a PIA. Heavy midwest rains used to really screw up my day of having to deal with the pool...all that in a climate where it could only be used about 60 good days....

Now, wha'cha need is two big-o mimosa trees. No mess there!

There is a mesquite tree that hangs over the fence. It has all these pods that drop on my yard. I hate that bastard tree.

Very very nice BEG. Back in the mists of time I used to be a landscaper and we'd do that sort of work around Winter Park Fl. The crepes won't be a bother to long :evillaugh: They look great by the pool so they're worth the trouble if you're willing to put up with flower season.
Are you going to trim them back for winter or let them go into a canopy?
Wisteria on the pergola?
-
There is shit floating in the pool, ...............
Now that brings back childhood memories of sharing a 'real' pond with cows and horses. Those floating green things weren't lily pads.
Beautiful back yard BEG, enjoy it.

We trim them back every other year. We have wisteria on a metal arbor by the entry way to the pool equipment (back behind the larger crepe myrtle). We had wisteria on our fence at our other house, it basically took the fence down so we wont be having it grow on our new structure.

Odd, it was just as I pictured him. :rotf:
I don't feel confident enough to post my pictures on ratemyspace. I don't take criticism too well. Especially when someone criticizes something my husband has done. Once a friend and I posted on this one decorating board and I posted a picture of the built in desk/wall unit my husband built. The first piece of furniture he has ever built. Someone said that they didn't believe that he built it as they had seen that "MONSTROSITY" at a discount furniture store just last week. I went off.....
Here is a picture of it just after we finsihed painting the room, there is another row of the "squares" at the top. I guess I missed it in the picture. This was taken about 5 years ago. Don't look at the stuff on the shelves as I just threw stuff up there to take a picture. It looks completely different now. My son is getting ready to paint the ugly yellow color a different color. I have hated the yellow color since day one. It looks ok in the picture but in real life it is putrid.

-
Oh BEG that's gorgeous! He built that?? Wow! I love that style.
You'll have to show us what is looks like when it's repainted. I think it looks fine in the photo but I know what you mean. I've got some ugly paint in one room. It looked so much better in the store!!!
I have noticed some idjits posting on ratemyspace. *eyeroll* they are probably just bitter and jealous.
-
Wow BEG, I'm amazed. You guys did a fantastic job. I also heard that not only are you beautiful and have a beautiful home, but you have a gorgeous hubby as well? Say it ain't so. I don't want to be THAT jealous of you. ;)
-
Look what I found when I went out a little bit ago to feed the fish....
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Foam_Kitty/P1010626.jpg)
We had some huge dragonflies hanging around while my husband was building the pond, now it seems all we have are these fairly small Damselflies. I don't know the exact difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly.

Yes he is gorgeous, if I do say so myself. :-)

I just got around to taking a good look at your pictures yesterday.
I made the mistake of showing them to my wife.
She is suffering a case of Back Yard Envy like you would not believe!!
It looks FABULOUS!
Thanks asdf! Better get ready for some serious manual labor.

Seriously, it's not fair that some people can be gorgeous and have gorgeous spouses and homes. Why do you get to be perfect? :bawl:
It's ok, You'd be so super jealous if I showed you pics of MY basement. Ok, I'll show you.

That's the side yard and door to the basement... getting jealous yet?

Yes, that would be a huge hole in my basement wall!! Totally jealous eh? Yeah, it's fixed now but still. I can see the envy in your eyes. If you look hard enough you can see part of my back yard.

And finally, the basement... err, indoor pool! Ha, I have an indoor pool and you only have a clean one outside with flowers floating in it. The body cleansing mud is no longer there. Just a few inches of water now since it rained again. Yeah, mine is fresh water.

Bri, you're for sure the envy of all your neighbors. :p

I'd feel sorry for you if you weren't so funny. Get better at whining if you want any sympathy from me. :tongue:

I can't whine, I'm not a liberal.

Oh I like you even more now.

Just remember, basements were invented to give northerners something to fixate upon to keep their minds off their lousy choice of geographic location.

BEG - I'll send you my son. He'll clean your pool for free without whining like a DUmmie as long as you let him swim in it. And feed him of course :-) I swear, that boy has gills. He lives in the pool here!!

Bri - what happened? Oh my goodness!

Stupid asshat contractors that didn't know what they were doing apparently. :censored:

That deck and garden looks amazing, what a great eye for design you have.
Bri77, what a nightmare you had, glad you remained sane enough to be so funny about it. :)

Dang Bri! I hope they paid for their mistakes and that it's all corrected now. You poor thing!

Homeowner, "Let's turn the basement into a rec room".
Translation to what the contractor heard, "Lets wreck the basement."
You just gotta know their language. :-)

Still dealing with it. Filed a lawsuit today. We had to wait for a certain period of time after notifying these a$$holes. Their lawyer contacted our lawyer a few months ago saying they'd fix it but they keep putting us off and not even getting back with their own lawyer. Hubby said "screw this, we're not waiting any longer."
Instead of backfilling with stone they backfilled with mud. Real geniuses we're working with here. :thatsright:

Odd, it was just as I pictured him. :rotf:
I don't have sideburns.
Why are you picturing me in a speedo?
