We had some great plans for this Summer's home remodeling works, unfortunately, we faced some obstacles, and decided to stop any further home remodeling works for this year.
Despite being pretty upset about our situation, we still enjoyed a great Summer at our rural country property.
Here I'm adding pictures, how it all looked in April 2017, make sure to check out how it all started, and see previous years start of the season.
Let's start with one of the biggest pride - the freshly dug pond in the front of the house
Pond in April 2017
Amazing, it is full with water. See how we waited for water level to rise, last autumn: Waiting For The Water Level Rising In The Pond

It was planned to grow strawberries in this field for this Summer (see: Planting Strawberry Plants In Fall ) but at the end, we made a garden with potatoes, cabbages, beets and other vegetables here, see: Autumn Harvest in The Garden.

Last Summer's brick and mortar work visible here (see: First Rows of Aerated Concrete Block For Pump Room), a place where an outdoor terrace is planned. This Summer celebrated here Summer Solstice, see: Summer Solstice 2017
