Moving right along! wow where has this half year gone? Still no sign of any movement or concrete (pardon the pun) projects or massive renos on the go!
I did find a good decent handy man that can fix a few of the bigger woes or temporarily patch those that will be ripped down! what a massive undertaking this house is! i hired irv to take out the excess trees, one Catalpa tree from the front yard and four or five junk trees in the back. I had the trees taken over the house at the back little addinsky in hopes of keeping the critters from eating and eating more of the roof and making themselves at home. Low and behold, the trees were gone and i looked out back while watering the side garden, and who should be staring back at me? mr and mrs big fat racoon! I was soooo ticked. how dare they live in my house. the roof was so rotted they just peeled back what they needed and made themselves cozy in the attic!
Here are pre tree removal photos and post tree removal photos! What a massive difference this has made to the front and back yard. The kind neighbors to the east were a little disappointed as it means there are fewer shade trees and it is less park like...i on the other hand am thrilled! I may actually get to have a vegetable patch in the back yard yet!
