violet_amy's help we were able to finish up the left side and back of the house. All that remains there is to spray it down with RoundUp or vinegar or something to kill off the remaining little stuff.
The end of the dumpster has been closed, so now we get to dump everything over the side - which turns out to be no where near as easy as it sounds. I'm still trying to come up with an elegant solution that doesn't involve pulling everything out of the trash can and throwing it over piece by piece.
My dad will be stopping my on Saturday morning, so I'm going to get his advice on a few things. He's retired now, but spent the last 40 some years working for the US Forest Service. I'll see what he thinks about my idea for the evergreens, and if he has any advice or thoughts about stump removal, groundhogs and the plum tree.
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. Weed the ivy bed.
7. Move the termite infested fire wood to the dumpster.
8. Remove more unwanted bushes, this time from the other side of the house.
9. Decide if I'm going to remove the lower branches on the evergreen trees, and if so, do it.
10. Prune remaining bushes.
