Let the yard work continue...

Picked up some flagstone and sand today to start work on the walkways in the yard.  First up is the one on to of the retaining wall.

Something fun..


This last weekend I got out for a ride I have been wanting to do for awhile.  The garden is pretty good to go and the weather was nice.

I rode from the house up to Guanella pass.  It was a beautiful day. Still some snow up high..new snow from Saturday too.
 

Looking south toward Bierdstad (sp?).  One of the local 14ers.  Another one, Mt Evans is on the list for a ride later this summer.

Here is a link to the route info if anyone is interested, highly recommend the ride.  They paved the road from Georgetown last summer so the pavement is silky smooth.

Some inside pictures.


Finally got some pictures of the trim on the stairs.  Decided that the full baseboard would be a bit too busy do we went with matching oak 1/4 round.

Finishing the ends of the baseboard was a bit tricky but worked out.  We tried some larger 1/4 round first but decided to go with the smaller base shoe.  Obviously some finish to clean up...

The rest of the starts for the garden waiting for a bit warmer nightime temps.  Some heirloom veriety tomatoes and peppers that will hopefully produce something other than half ripe fruit by first frost.

Another interesting little trim challenge. 

The white baseboard really accentuates the oak flooring.

It was amazing how much better the doors looked once we painted them and took off the plastic.

Inside the french doors.

Still need to paint the rest of the doors in the bedroom and put another coat on the door trim...and apparently do some laundry.
