I have been pretty busy fixing up my yard...what do you think?

And the shed...

Shed after I stained the ramp a nice Redwood color...

Chocolate pudding aside.... Do you find that all the lighting attracts a lot of insects at night? or is that not a problem in your neck of the woods? Very attractive back yard! Seems to offer privacy even in a suburban environment. Are the cone shaped lights at the edge of the patio floor electric, or flame from fuel? I don't think I have seen that style light before.

WOW, I did not think my  ridding the pool of water would start such a heated thread! SO I will keep the water...and the girls must swim fully clothed  (as that makes them feel better I guess) So t-shirts and daisy dukes are in order!

And while it may be a mans world...you girls have ALL the power!!!

PS I do hope you all know this is just in good fun...

As for the lights at the edge of the patio, they are citrnella candles. I have 6 of them and 3 Tiki torches...the rest is all low voltage lights. We do have bugs in this area (especially nats!) but I have had the yard sprayed and the candles do a good job! I have sat back there for the last 4 or 5 nights and not one bite! (Watch tomarrow I will get eaten alive!)

If one can't have fun, then it's time to pack up the bags and leave. 

Since you have bugs, maybe fill the swimming pool with a bug repellant and while we're all over for the party this weekend we won't have to worry about nasty bug bites.  If there is a bug around that bites - guaranteed they are coming to find me.  Will bother nobody else but me.  I can empty a whole can of bug spray and dang nabbit, they still attack me like the vicious little pests that they are.

Eventually I'd like to have solar lighting or candle lights also.  But that will have to come in a few years.  Thinking about building a pond for turtles and fish, a nice little relaxation spot for the days that are nerve racking, that's where I'd have the lighting.  You have a great yard going for you Brian, keep up the good work!
