Transforming my Tiny Backyard

[@dennisrobbins458]

Considering the tools and your knowledge, I would say outstanding job, young lady.

[@elenamakes]

Much appreciated

[@user-xt3nw2vr7n]

Hello and congratulations, the final product looks amazing. You have fantastic ideas 😊🌴 Thank you for sharing 👍

[@BruceLee-ef4xp]

Much respect to you Elena for all that hard work on the heavy stone. I can tell you are exhausted but you kept your composure, calm and determination to finish the job. My hat off to you. You inspired me and I admire you for completing this daunting project. It looks so beautiful at the end. Congratulations and thanks for the video

[@elenamakes]

That is all very kind of you to say thanks 😊 have a wonderful day!

[@sesarssauce8698]

I'm definitely gonna try this

[@EightBitTony]

That looks really effective! I really like the gap between the slabs.

[@elenamakes]

Thanks!

[@jacktrades5103]

It was satisfying that you put all the prep into the landscape, it also helps to keep bugs from buildings nests. 👍 A flat base with wheels on the bottom will help with the slabs, use those awesome wheels like from your workshop bandsaw table. That way you can just sack em and roll em. Thank you for the great ideas and inspiration, my yard is tiny as well. Good luck with your future projects 🎉

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate it, glad you enjoyed the process :)

Hi. I loved your channel. Learning, creativity and innovation are relevant points for the audience. In addition to beauty and friendliness, a job well done guarantees success. You gained a fan. We have the same hobbies and I believe you hit the nail on the head with the mix of activities. A hug from Brazil. 😊

[@elenamakes]

Glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@GabrielMazzeiAlejandro]

extreme makeover! Nice job Elena!

[@allen3776]

Looks great. Like the way you just jumped into the build

[@akhil9mural9artist]

Good planning

[@HnrPram]

Nice idea and well done for outdoor layout... It's really warm palce for tea time in the evening.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁

[@elenamakes]

Thank you! Definitely will be a popular morning coffee and tea time spot ☕️

[@uptone12111]

[@benhoward3531]

Good job Elena 😊

[@murraygraham1696]

Nice build

[@preciousmemories6890]

Beautiful results, Elena. Your hard work definitely paid off!

[@elenamakes]

Thanks! I think so too!

[@ernietedeschini]

Looks good! nice job!

[@EllisThings]

Bravo. Those heavy slabs are no joke!

[@AndyCallaway]

It looks great. 👍

[@LoekBerkepies]

You’re videos are amazing, keep up the great work!

[@garageshopminnesota]

Really nice work! Subscribed! I would find a way to put up cedar boards to your current fence for more privacy, and also make it have more of a warmer feel than just looking at a chain link fence.

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate it! I really want to cover up the chain link, for all the reasons you mentioned, and I do love the look of cedar, but the price tag is what is holding me off.

[@76Scutter]

Holy crap that was alot of sand Look great, awesome job

[@elenamakes]

It was 😅

[@michaelgrandinetti3170]

Looks great and I think you will be fine with your sand base for a long time. I have that same gas fire pit......we love it. Enjoy & good luck with your new place.

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate it! Yeah no regrets so far getting that fire pit

[@ZyvhurStudios]

it looks awesome!

[@eugeniomesuraco3609]

Excelente trabajo! felicitaciones! espero más videos saludos desde Argentina

[@chippi09]

Pretty awesome job ! Working alone all the way to the end is really impressive, those pavers are heavy and don't think I can handle them without a dolly. Nice work ! Sub.

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate it! My husband did help me load and unload them from the truck, but he had to work the other days so I had to figure it out.

[@Michael-Makes-Stuff]

Dang… That looked like a ton of work. But the end result is terrific. That looks so much better and now it’s actually functional. Nice job!

[@elenamakes]

Thank you! I think so too :)

[@craigchristensen6082]

Well done. Huge improvement.

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate it :)

[@marcovanrooijen7962]

Haha, loved when you found the dinosaur. Well done, your work looks amazing!!

[@elenamakes]

haha that was the highlight of the dig. Thanks!

[@fjesusjr6875]

Cool videos

[@9amnDallas]

You are a strong motivation to to get shit done love your videos!

[@elenamakes]

Glad I could help get you motivated :)

[@timd5343]

[@NaGarupadaCitycom]

ALECIO - Florianópolis - Santa Catarina- Brasil- Congratulations, it looks beautiful, all the effort is worth it, but you have to take care of this weight, in the future we will suffer from our past. it was beautiful.

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Definitely an improvement over just the bare sand 👍 It stinks you had to move so suddenly, especially after just getting your small workshop up and running. Those concrete pavers are no joke. I'm glad you were wearing gloves because that concrete can really tear up your hands otherwise. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for your new space 😃

[@elenamakes]

Thanks! I know definitely the biggest bummer about moving was breaking down the shop I just built up. Luckily the new place has a good sized garage

[@sebonac83]

Your very game to face the unknown bravo

[@gussiegus4943]

New subscriber here… Great job! For covering the chain link fence, you might consider building some wooden planter boxes filled with some larger plants and some vining plants. Water them via a simple drip irrigation system on a timer.

[@elenamakes]

Would love to build some planter boxes! Hope to find the time soon.

Hallo Elena, Euer Garten ist richtig toll geworden. Man kann sich richtig wohl fühlen. Ich hätte den Untergrund fester gebaut. Liebe Grüße Peter

You look so cute and pretty elena

[@silviagarciamendoza-demon]

Hello, wonderful work, it turned out divine, and you inspired me to do a project my self, as a woman I was a little afraid to do it alone, but seeing you inspired me, thank you, why didn't your husband help you? Greetings from Barcelona Spain

[@elenamakes]

Greetings! So happy I could offer some inspiration. He helped a bit but he was working during most of the build time. I also didn’t mind handling most of the work.

[@mo4ever344]

Fantastic ..But avoid carrying heavy things alone

[@RobertHall-k8u]

Congrats on the move. The project looks great, but how is your back? Mine would not be good after moving those pavers multiple times.

[@elenamakes]

Thanks! Wasn’t too sore the next day. Lots of breaks, stretches, and trying to lift with my legs helped

[@Bushcraft_ID]

nice backyard ....whre u from ?

[@HydraMods]

Does this mean there's going to be a video "Building a mini workshop... again... again"?? Haha. I hope there will be!

[@elenamakes]

Haha there definitely will be when I have time to set it up! Third time’s the charm

[@cf5914]

Tip: When you dig, don't go so deep. Fill your shovel by kind of skimming along the surface. That takes MUCH less effort.

[@elenamakes]

Appreciate the tip!

[@cf5914]

@@elenamakes Thanks for making your videos! =)

[@murraygraham1696]

It’s easier to carry 2 pails at 1 time

[@svdarren]

Wow, does the whole neighborhood have that much sand? What state are you in?

[@elenamakes]

yep, it's the whole area! California.

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

The finished project looks great. But....where is Augie going to poop??

[@elenamakes]

Never fear, I left him a little sand patch on the other side of the yard.

[@HighTone45]

I would have canned the sand in general it’s no sense in keeping it
