My husband and I are remodeling our home office/studio room at hoe this summer. It seems that the termites have been holding the whole thing together for far too long. We need everything construction-ish for this project. I hope we’re not crazy to do this ourselves!

We are trying to finish up some painting and molding in our house that we started a remodel with, so the gift card would come in handy.

What I mostly want is a screen to go on our french door even though I can’t open my doors for longer than two seconds because of the heat. Maybe I will be able to in September.

We have some bare patches in our backyard that need some serious attention. I’d love to be able to get some grass growing again

We have an area that is grown up with weeds that is actually a concrete slab/patio with a brick fire pit/grill? that I would love to clean out and make useable. I’m just a little scared of snakes! We inherited it and its the one spot that really needs some tlc.

I know your dilemma. . . we just had to have our deck replaced a couple of months ago (due to poor carpenter work from previous carpenter). . . however, I have a lower cost solution to the firepit until maybe you can get the one you want. You would still use the stacked stone but just use a string and draw off a circle on your grass and dig down about 6″ – that’s how we have our fire pit. Also, in that same Lowe’s magazine I was able to make the 4×4 bench from leftovers from our old deck. LOVE IT!

We have several little projects that need to be tackled this year. One is to shovel gravel from one bed to another and relandscape a bed. The second (more exciting) is to expand once more our raised veggie garden. While I miss the little kid years, I am enjoying recapturing a bit more of my yard for more adult purposes.

Summer is miserable in Austin without a pool. My 4 and 6 year olds wouldn’t go outside. So, we installed an Intex easy set pool (16′) for $269, and then I (alone!) installed a 5′ x 25′ paver patio (using pavers that were $1.27 because we are on a SERIOUS budget), landscape border stones and gravel to make our backyard below the deck an extension of the deck and a summertime paradise! Now, they swim several times a day – getting tons of exercise and filling their days with mermaid fun! I could really stretch that $100 gift card by finishing around the pool and really making it nice out there with a firepit area to link the trampoline, playscape and pool are with a gathering area for friends and neighbors during our impromptu evening swims!
