There was an attendee who pitched a service project to help an older lady in need and I thought for sure she probably deserved it ha!īut to my surprise at the closing ceremony, they called my name as the one chosen for the $3,000 budget tier! I was super excited! I even have a photo that captured my excitement! HA along with my new blog friends! (Lauryn Moon and Cammie Malaga)Īnd now the project is well underway! I am doing my best to document the process so you too can tackle a project like this. Hoestly, after the pitch session I didn’t think I was going to get picked. Here is the mock up of what I pitched, a floating deck which is phase 1 of my backyard makeover.

We had 2 minutes to pitch our project and 2 minutes to answer questions. The pitch session was an awesome experience. I was presently surprised when I was notified by email that I was chosen as one of the 12 finalist to present at Haven. I entered my project for a backyard makeover for $3,000. Before Haven, Home Depot created an opportunity for attendees to submit a project for them to sponsor. This year, I attended the Haven Conference in Atlanta and one of the coolest things that happened at Haven was being able to participate in the Home Depot Orange Tank Pitch Session.

You may ask how I swung that well read on to find out! I am super excited to announce that I am partnering with Home Depot to turn my backyard from drab to fab and the best part is they are providing me with $3,000 to do it! Yes you read that right. What's a backyard these days without a floating deck?
