Our Old House

As you know from previous blogs (Such as Our Old House: I attacked the yard! ) we really had a tough time controlling the huge holly tree in the front of the house. It has been a very pointed (pun intended) subject every since we moved in.

I approached EWEB (our power company) about the possibility of removing it last year, but they weren't interested. This year however, they offered to take it down if we were willing to haul the stuff away... we were like, whatever it takes!!

Course, it took us over a month to get it hauled away and the help of a wonderful couple whom we are hiring to help us get this jungle under control. It took them 4 trips to the yard refuse yard (small pickup and trailer) to haul it all away....

Stay tuned.. we have a WHOLE ton of awesome yard work planned!

So here it is, tree down!

Nearly 18 inches at the base....

There was a pretty good pile of big pieces!

12-14 feet of tree trunk...

Branches...

This is on the other side of the pile... to the west of the front yard..

Hey.. you can see the house!
