Welcome to Allen & Jen's New Home

 

On February 9, 2002 we moved into our brand new house in Acton, CA. It is a 2,350 square foot single-story home on an acre of property. Click here to see the floor plan: http://home.earthlink.net/~jlbushman/floor_plan.jpg

 

 

Here's a picture of the front of the house.

And this is our backyard.

 

 

 

After being here one month, we have a fence!

Eventually the front bank will be filled with flowers (we hope!)

 

On June 21, we started pouring our patio. We finished it on August 7. Just the 2 of us with a cement mixer & a wheelbarrow.

Our next project was to put in our back sprinklers and lawn.   Here is Allen cutting with the big Ditch Witch that we rented.
