I have to say, it is really nice having a sprinkler system already installed...but...it has required a lot of attention since we moved in. Keil has been really good at fixing the problems so far so we don't have to hire someone. Here he is installed a new pump or relay (I think). This one was completely under water for a few days.

You probably remember when we had to take down the old chimney that was going through the attic and out through the old roof. After we took it down and cleaned off the bricks they sat in a pile in our garage waiting for the perfect project to use them for. Well today was the day! We lined the pathways in the garden with them and have some left over. We are loving the look of the bricks. Making the pathways quite historical looking. We first put down weed barrier and then finished it up with some aromatic cedar to help with the bugs that are taking over parts of the garden. Still need to put the rest of the cedar down, but we are loving the overall look so far.
