Our Progress
Okay, I feel like I have just been writing about the pool. It was such a big project and took a lot of our time. We have been in the process of renovating the kitchen we just need the extra cabinets and the new counter tops and it will be "almost" complete. I can't wait for it to be done and for my sink to work which is still in the works. I have resorted to washing dishes in a bucket and pouring the water out in the laundry sink.
The big project that my father-in-law and I tackled last week was cutting bushes and tree limbs in the front yard. Everything had been overgrown and most of the bushes had holes in the inside so just trimming them was not working. I tried and after about 15 minutes with the trimmer and no progress we decided to get the chainsaw out. I did not of course use the chain saw. My father-in-law was the operator and I directed.
Here are some before photos of the front yard.
This is after we trimmed everything.
We are debating on removing this tree above. The roots have really gotten into the driveway and taken over the front yard. Maybe a small flowering tree would look pretty here and some grass!
I could not pass up this view when I was taking pictures.
We still have a lot to do but it is a work in progress and I am please how open everything looks. Now you can actually see the house. I know my mom has pictures of the front yard when they had their wedding reception here. I will post photos soon to show you what the yard looked like in all its glory and hopefully we can bring it back.
