hey guys!  quick little afternoon post, sorry.

so my house is close to 100 years old.

and we had these crazy bushes in front that i truly believe were close to 100 years old as well.

the roots were DEEP and those babies did NOT want to come out!

a few different methods to try to get them out.

a jeep pulling them out with a rope, nope.

a tractor pulling them out, nope.

so we had to resort to digging around them and then basically just shoveling them out with a tractor.

a mess!!

a HUGE thank you to my uncle roger, my mom and jon for getting these out.

they are awesome!

so let's go with the before.

this was after a MUCH needed trim job on the bushes.

remember this.....

and now we have this!!

isn't she cute!!

a new paint job on the roof - which was included in the house contract.

about $80 in plants and a few free ones from friends and family.

$75 in mulch.

some blood, sweat and tears.

MUCH cheaper than the $2500 quote i got from a landscaper in town.

now i need about $50 in sod to be laid down and watered.

we will try to not think about next month's water bill.......

not too bad for a little front yard makeover!!

now let's all bow our heads and pray that the plants grow.  ha.
