Day 10
Busy couple of days ... but nothing's more interesting in the front yard right now than the flowers which are changing over to their fall colors.

With all of that stuff moved ... we can just go back to the "normal" renovations!!
Cheers!!

Pleeeeease come and help me do mine!!! Your bathroom is awesome and I can relate to having an older home. Mine was built in 1956 and my bathroom is the size of a modern day powder room. You've done a fantastic job on the reno -well done, Ken!!Day 8
Actually, this 50mm lens is not quite right for this situation ... but here is our 95% completed master bathroom update. About the only thing missing is some trim. Our home was built in the mid-60's and the master bath is quite small. The original shower was less than 36"x 36" square!! Without spending hundreds of thousands of $$ to build on an addition, we don't have room for one of the big spa baths we see on TV. But, we planned out a rehab that expands things quite a bit and definitely updates the look and feel. My wife loves her new vanity/medicine cabinet update!!

(Also, sorry, I have not been able to comment much on other folks' wonderful images. Hopefully I'll start getting caught up over the weekend!!)

The red, orange and brown colors add a lot of interest to the first, Ken. And, like Ron, I'd guess a Butterfly Bush in your 2nd?Day 9

I have no idea ... but iOS 15 now has a plant ID function and IT says it's a "Peegee" or "Panicled" Hydrangea. I'll take their word for it ...Well done Ken. All neat and tidy. Is that a pink buddleia?
It's really nice ... but it's just relocated to a "temporary" spot in the back yard awaiting my wife's application to her gardens!!Glad you got the pile moved. The flower looks nice. A hydrangea? They always have such great fall color conversions.
See above ... but I am by no means an expert!!The red, orange and brown colors add a lot of interest to the first, Ken. And, like Ron, I'd guess a Butterfly Bush in your 2nd?
I'm on iOS 15 also, but was unaware of that plant ID thingy - thanks.I have no idea ... but iOS 15 now has a plant ID function and IT says it's a "Peegee" or "Panicled" Hydrangea. I'll take their word for it ...

Me too! Our house has two 20-30’ crabapple trees that were planted 3’ from the front of the house and were brushing up against it. I had to cut them (and two large arborvitaes and a hydrangea) down and dig out the stumps. What a job.11 - yikes. Trees that close to a house make me twitch a wee bit. Nice shot showing the scale.
