Is it finally done????

Its almost a let down now that my folks are home meaning we are done with their "surprise". Doesn't mean I am done helping them but from now on there is no big rush to get it all done. I got up this morning at 5:45 and left about 6:30 to pick up the worker who was helping us with the final leg of the journey. I think we went a tad bit over budget (about 3x) but this will last for a long time! I learned a lot doing this, and getting it all put together.

Now, lets see the greenhouse........Here is the picture from the outside to start. My little brother thought my chauchkies were silly (he is such a BOY) but I had to make it somewhat presentable. I had the bowls of flowers at my house from a sale a week ago, the two stools I got at a yard sale for $2.50 ea, the other stuff was things she had around the yard or garage or deck. The worker says it "cheapens it" another BOY! I dont' care.....I like it. Oh and the chairs are ones that they had taken down because when you sit on them your bum turns black but nobody will sit out here anyway it was just for the silly picture!

and here is my mom entering the place

And Voila!

Here is some inside pictures....

Ok I showed my brother a picture of something to do for the side tables, and he thunk all of this up in his head, figured the supplies we needed, I drove to the store yesterday, bought the supplies, and when I came back he and our Hired helper, Joe, cranked these out in just over 2 hours! Amazing huh?

Now we can do a more close up with the path. You have seen the pictures but not finished with all the little doodads, the edges cleaned well, new bark dust brought in, new rocks around the pond, new gravel put all around the outside edge of the front part of the yard, have views from the driveway and from the deck....

From the driveway above, from the garage below

And our last little surprise, Mike and helper slammed this out today, cleaning my dad's garage. No before pictures here but lets say it was getting a bit cluttered and now its all cleaned up.

Ok, I think it all went over ok....whew I am dirty, and tired, and sore and GLAD we did this. Is it really over? Is it finally done?????

Myabe its all just been a dream.
