I got out there around 7 today, but only lasted until noon when it started raining. It only rained for a little while, but I never got back out to keep working.
I finished up The Pile with the help of a snow shovel, so all the really nasty work is finished. I put together my pole pruner saw thing and removed several dead branches from two of the trees in the front yard. After I was tired of getting saw dust all over me, I moved back to removing bushes from the side of the house.
But I promised pictures (sorry about their size). Here are two views of the dumpster:
Here is where I removed some bushes from the front of the house:
And here is what's left of the brush piles:
To Do, Started,Finished:
1.Move the big brush pile (hereafter, The Pile) into the dumpster.
2.Move the little brush pile (by the oak tree) into the dumpster.
3. Remove the unwanted bushes in the front of the house.
4. Remove the unwanted bushes and weeds from the side and back of the house.
5. Trim out the dead branches from all the trees.
6. Remove more unwanted bushes, this time from the other side of the house.
7. Weed the ivy bed.
8. Move the termite infested fire wood to the dumpster.
9. Decide if I'm going to remove the lower branches on the evergreen trees, and if so, do it. (reworded for clearer meaning ;) )

(I honestly had not idea you had weeds there. Just shows how observant I am *sigh*...)

Date: 2006-06-26 02:54 pm (UTC)I just have lots of stuff to do. (Of course, the flip side of all this is that if I was maintaining my yard the way I'm supposed to, then most of this would not be needed)
