It’s basically just a hallway leading to the back deck and didn’t serve any real purpose other than being a dumping ground for a lot of junk..

Chris decided to rip out this fence around the back of the house last weekend so we can have this big sloping lawn.While he was at it, he threw together this sandbox for Kennedy.

I’m picturing a little path leading down to it and maybe a tire swing?We had to destroy a sad little flower garden when we took the fence down, so I saved the tulips in it and moved them to under one of the maple trees.I don’t really expect them to bloom this year, but they’re definitely doing much better than I thought they would..

They aren’t selling pansies and other annuals around here yet, but these few in here somehow managed to survive the move and the winter and are blooming like crazy now.I bought these last April!.

We’re ready for a lot more big time gardening this year.

We’ve got a little staging area set up between the garage and the house for all of our landscaping materials..We’re going to have to fix that little mix-up right away!.

Oh right… the interview.. We’ve already spoken about Scott’s thoughts on types of finishes that you should use on an income property and we’ve talked about how you might approach an income property differently in a small town versus the big city in my last post with him..The next thing I wanted to know about was just the basics.

Realistically, we don’t all have an extra $60 000 laying around to renovate when we want to put together an income property so I asked him what would be the one thing he would focus on if he could only complete one renovation.I thought for sure he would say the kitchen.
