This blog post is being posted after the fact but backdated in hopes to provide a better flow as I feel in the gaps of things I like to write about that has been done to our home here in Colorado.
With being all moved in it was time to make our new home our own and the first task at hand was to clean-up the property All the work was accomplished by my family (Kelly, Kyle, Ian, and Sam) and my next door neighbor to the north of us (Jay). Believe it or not most of the listed work below was mostly completed before our first winter here in Colorado.

Graded and smoothed out garden area.
