This weekend, Shane and our friend Cliff tacked our biggest new-homeowner project to-date…the backyard. Dun Dun Dun…
For a little background information, our house sits on .4 acres, two thirds of which, is the backyard. The previous owners of our house didn’t do much with it. Read: NOTHING. When we moved in, the backyard was a bit of cleared grass and then a full-on section of wilderness. The trees were all covered with vines and overgrowth..and let’s not even talk about what has been found underneath all that overgrowth.
This weekend, Shane and Cliff spent most of the day Saturday, and then again Sunday clearing out the backyard. They filled up a trailer with all of the stuff, and have two huge piles waiting for to go to the dump as well. I will comment on some of the ‘nice’ things found out there (and by nice, I mean the stuff I no longer have to spend money at Home Depot to get)—a wheelbarrow, and an ax—nice, right?
Anyway, here are pictures to show all that the boys accomplished:
Our backyard before
Our backyard now: Note how you can see the bottoms of the trees and the fence at the back of the property. (Shane obviously needs to take a couple loads out to the dump)
