One project that we did not anticipate when buying the house was reviving the lawn. We were not afraid of the maintenance but did not realize the crabgrass that covered the lawn and begged us to attack it. We spent hours plucking weeds so the existing Bermuda and St. Augustine grass had a chance to grow this spring, and we had victorious smiles every time we grabbed one of the "big clusters." This will be an ongoing effort, but we have made significant progress. And, I'm happy to report that our crape myrtles are also growing well since our lawn care started . Tip: If you have a house, anticipate buying one or will attend a housewarming party in the future, buy something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202832533/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053. It's well worth the money and makes weed control so much more productive.
After purchasing my great weed puller, Chad split his time on another heavily layered project. We had a hexagon louvre in the front of the house with multiple coats of paint. It took two different products and three weekends for Chad to clean, but the result is a bare louvre ready for the paint of our choice!
