I won't begin to go into all that we have dealt with since moving into our new place but I will say that there were many things that should have been fixed before we moved in and last week we had maintenance people and carpenters in our apartment almost all day everyday which made nap time for Audra difficult to say the least. Deep breath... moving on. Our lanai at our new place is very nice since it is larger than our last place and not next to a busy road but it left much to be desired. Hmm trash and ciarette butts and ivy that was rooting down into the stucco. Yes not exactly what I would call lovely! So yesterday Andrew went and borrowed tools from Uncle Bob and Aunt Kate and picked up some bark chips from Home Depot and we got to work! It was kind of fun working outside together and seeing something made beautiful! Here are some before and after pictures:
Oh and yes that post has to be stuccoed. It was one of the things fixed last week since the one before it had dry rot and was just hanging there.
And the gutter is just sitting there waiting to go back on the post once it gets stucco again! Now how to cover up the ugly air conditioner?

Wow!! Way to go! You guys did a ton of work out there and it looks fabulous! I'll be honest...had no idea what "lanai" was-I heard the name but didn't realize what it was until I saw your blog! Yup, I'm a dork :)
Thanks Amanda! Really it only took us a couple of hours! Maybe it was silly to do it since we are just renting but even if we were only going to be here a month I couldn't stand looking out at that mess! It was fun!
I love that you now know what lanai is! You should use it now and see how many people know what you are talking about! :)
Great work, Palmer Duo!!! Your lanai looks amazing!!! Hopefully we get to see it up close and in person one of these days!!! :o)
