HomeTalk

This is the best thing ever.

Thank you to Lindsey over at Better After for posting about this incredible website!

So for anyone who owns a home, you know there are a million things that come up on a daily basis that you might not always have the answers too.

Right now we are in the process of working on our backyard and we just removed this cute shed:

I know, why would we remove it?! Well from what you can't see, there is actually a pool to the left of the shed and a pool shed behind that. We dont really need 2 sheds, and to be honest, we wanted the grass space (more area for our dog to run, kids to play, etc).

So...after removing the shed we are left with a gigantic space that we need to fill with grass, a garden and a most importantly, a tree to block the neighbours view of our backyard.

Yes, I could plant a maple. Everyone tells us to plant a maple. BUT before we make a decision on that, I wanted to see what else was out there, that we could plant. I wanted more suggestions.
