Airstream Winner and Workin' in the Jungle

I wanted to pop in really fast to give you the Airstream results and to show you what we're working on this weekend. To learn more about this project, check out here and here.

Thank you again for your votes, it was another close one!
But it looks like the Retro design is the winning design by one vote.

I'll keep you posted on the Airstream progress, we still have a lot of work to do before we get down to making the final design decision.

This weekend we took a break from working on the Airstream to tackle the jungle in our yard.

I am not going to lie, our yard is a MESS. We moved into the house in 2008 and have been trying to gain control over it ever since. I have never seen weeds grow as rampant in a yard as they do in ours, we have tried and tried to tackle them to no avail, but we're not giving up!

We also have two flower beds full of pachysandra. It has grown and grown and has turned into an overgrown jungle of ground cover. This weekend we decided we were not going to take the over grown jungle look any longer, so we're clearing out the pachysandra. We are planning to plant a few bushes along our neighbor's wall and we're going to either bark around the bushes or fill in with rocks.

Our progress so far...

Progress

It was my job to clear the weeds in the yard

Almost finished, look at that progress!

We stopped early to have dinner and to go see Pirates of the Caribbean.
We're hoping to finish clearing it this afternoon.

This weekend I am working on another project too...
Remember this lamp?




I found it a couple weeks ago at a garage sale for $5. I am fixing it up!

It should be completed and ready to show you on Wednesday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
