Entry Rock Gets Numbers



At the bottom of the driveway of our little farmhouse
we have needed our house numbers
I always thought this rock would be a
great place for it

~yikes the grass~

 
The Hubs or maybe Brother Bill
put together some numbers
a few years back
they just don't quite cut it
since our beautiful sign went up

out driving around looking at beautiful homes one night with
Brother Bill & Linda
 we saw some really pretty house numbers on stone
Brother Bill found out who made them
A local guy Josh at
look what he did for moi..
see those pegs on the back
those go into the rock
I wanted a dark hunter green to
match the sign & the roof

First Brother Bill made a template

Then he figured out where to put them

then he pulled out the big guns
put some epoxy concrete glue in the holes

~viola~

Did you notice
while he was drilling
I was weeding

~Before~


~after~


now I just need to get some
marigolds
~not a deer favorite~
and really dress this up
the lavender that Bill & Linda planted
have done so nicely but we need some more color
and he also put up a spot light with a sensor
so at night it's
~all lit up~




Thanks again for everything
Brother Bill
~I LOVE IT~

I'm having a very hard time
trying to figure out what I can
possibly do to return all the favors
my in-laws have
bestowed upon us this summer
I will let you know what I come up with!
