Darin had his last vacation this week for 2nd year. Instead of going on a trip and spending money that way, we decided to spend the money on our house TO DO list. And believe me that list was SUPER long! :) The forecast was rainy on Monday and predicted snow on Wednesday, but Tuesday was a nice sunny day so we got outside and began sawing down the ugliest, most unruly tree and trimmed a tree that seriously poked your eye out if you weren't watching where you were going.
So basically if you came to visit us you would first lose an eye then as you turned the corner the unruly tree would attack you. If you tried to dodge the attack you would then fall in a random hole that formed in our lawn next to the sidewalk...we were losing friends quickly as they were scared to die in our front lawn!
I didn't get a picture of the hole but if you look closely where the lawn dips that is where it is!
Yes we both took turns hacking away at the beast!
But it is true, Darin did the most work!
Once the crazy limbs were gone, it was time to dig at the roots. Nash was the greatest helper with his little shovel. We gave him the job of filling in the hole.
This tree turned out to be a bigger beast then we anticipated! The neighbor came over and said "OH Thank heavens you are getting rid of that ugly thing!" Then she told us they had to have a truck come in and pull out the stump of their tree.
Nope not us we just need He-Man Darin!
And a cute little helper.
And wa-la you have an annoying tree free yard!!
YEAH now we can have friends again! ;)

wow what a job, but your house looks really nice
Good work! It really does look great! That was a big job!
That was a big tree to take out!
Your home shows up more with it gone. Nash will be looking for more trees to dig out.
