The Backyard Tells the Same Story

What else can I say? It's more of the same out in back, where we need to do some serious cleaning. One of the last tenants was a mechanic, so there's grease all over the driveway and tubs of motor oil lying around.

The garage door has also been seriously dented, so we can't get it open. It will be a nice two-car space once we fix it. Right now, there is a gate across the driveway to the right of this picture--kind of defeats the purpose of an automatic garage door--so we plan to put a fence with gate between the driveway and patio because otherwise the backyard will be wide open.

It's a pretty sizeable yard, and there's an extra room at the back of the garage. The thing I don't like is that the cinderblock fences are only four-and-a-half feet high. We're going to try to raise them or mount a taller wood fence to the blocks.
