We finished the garage! Justin put everything on the walls in March 2008. On the racks are outdoor items.
My favorite item is the recycle station, which is the row holding brown bags under the ladder. Justin's
favorite is the floor and just about everything on the walls!

Xeriscaping our Backyard
Justin (with Katie's help, whenever she wasn't studying) transformed our backyard from dying and sad, to
