We are in the middle of tearing out our side yard to extend it out into our front yard a little more so that we can have a big concrete/ basketball court area on the side of our house. That space up until now has just been a dirt area (the only part of our back yard that we never did anything with) where the shed sat. Kevin came up with the idea of a big play area a month or so ago so we are now moving on the project. Since Kevin is doing all the demolition himself (saves a ton of money) we borrowed our friends tractor, trailer and big truck to get the job done. As of now, the wall is down and temporary fencing is up. The next step is grading and moving sprinkler lines and installing drains. Then, the guy comes and they build the wall and pour the concrete. We still have a ways to go, but it is going to be a huge asset once it is done. It will be over 1000 square feet of concrete play area for the kids!!
While Kevin and the boys were tearing down the wall, Mia and I were watching from inside and then moved outside to watch.

Beautiful pics! We too have a space like yours that I so want to turn into a bball court. In my dreams, because first we need a new drive way and we are currently working on a huge patio/walkway in the front yard.
