All Dressed Up For Fall

If you know me you know that the heat of summer is my favorite time of the year. I’m a pool gal and I love the sun and yard work. I do love me some summer but I also love fall.

This has been one of the longest remodels I’ve ever done. We had mishaps and problems from the get go. At one point I broke my foot and the work all but stopped while I healed. I take pride in doing all my DIY projects myself....
