Introduction

Have you ever wanted to redecorate your teacher's house? Well now is your chance!! Your teacher is in desperate need of a backyard makeover and she is allowing you, her students, to help her out. Right now her backyard is not relaxing but an eye-sore full of dead grass, a deck that is falling apart, three huge ugly trees, and weeds galore. She wants a place to relax after a long day teaching school. She also wants a place to entertain her friends during the summer. In order to do this she is going to demolish everything and start fresh. And you get to come up with the design plan! Good luck!
