Let's Go to Home Depot!!!

So since it has gotten warmer we have needed to make the apartment complex we work at look better and do a lot of yard work. We surprisingly enjoy doing it and spend a lot of time figuring out what could make this place look nice. It is an old complex so it always needs work. Dustin does most of the hard labor, and he seems to enjoy it...which I am perfectly okay with that.
So we make weekly trips to Home Depot together, and I usually find something I get excited about, like some flowers. This is what it looked like before....YUCK!

Here is the office and some flowers I was excited to put in front of it. Pretty!
Flowers in front of Heather and soon to be Sierra and my sister Jelina's apartment :)


This is Dustin's current project that he is almost done with. As you can see the first two pictures were hideous spider looking plants and Dustin hated them so he tore them out, made the soil nicer, fixed sprinklers and planted Hosta plants. Our owner trusts us to do whatever to make the place look good and so he just started tearing this area up without mentioning it. She will see it tomorrow, hopefully she likes it!
These are the spider plants that used to there.
Whoa!!!! What a big rock lifting hottie!
Check out his awesome wheelbarrow...

"Hmmm..."

All done!

Thank you Austin for being an inspirtation to Dustin and giving him helpful advice:)

Dustin, the place looks AWESOME!! I love the new planter boxes instead of those ugly junipers. Lyss, your flowers are lovely! Nice work guys!!
