Day 96



This is our, pretty messy, garden and porch. We live in an apartment but we are among the few in our building with a small garden towards the courtyard. There are also a small common lawn and some children toys.

Daniel and I have just been measuring the porch as we would like to build a wooden deck to cover the concrete floor. We moved here last spring, and immediately got the awnings to cover for the sun, which can be quite harsh in the afternoons. But for this summer we would like to do a little more. The concrete is not very nice to walk bare-foot on, so this should be a good solution.

I thought I should take this before-pic, as once we start with the building we will forget how it looked before. It had to be in b&w (Annies action Silver Screen) as the mess on the left hand side was too obvious in color. ;) We have used it as storage for lots of stuff during the winter. Soon it will all be gone, and we will be able to enjoy the area again.
