In other news, we removed the clothesline and it really opened up the backyard. Although a clothesline is a great eco-friendly feature for a home, the one that came with the house was huge and took up some of the best space for hanging out in the backyard. We also did some yard cleanup and shrub removal in the past week, and we began repairs to the coop. We haven't picked a coop color yet though - That decision will be made once the new siding is up and the exterior painting is done.
Finally, a number of original foundation stones were moved from the basement and piled in the yard. We've been considering a few different ideas for using these old foundation stones. One early idea we had was using them to build a fire pit. Another idea was to use them in the front yard or driveway to build a small retaining wall. Then, last week we gave a tour of the home to our friends and they gave us the idea of building planters with these beautiful old stones. The more we have mulled that idea over, the more we like it. We haven't made any final decisions yet however.
