Backyard renovation complete. Pics attached

Started this project back in April. New deck, fire pit area, and put in some raised garden beds. My wife wanted flowers so I built these simple cedar boxes and we planted tomatoes, peppers, and basil. Spent way too much on materials but honestly the result is solid. The kids have already claimed the fire pit as their favorite spot. We're grilling out there tonight to celebrate. Happy as hell with how it turned out.
