This day was a big day. Number 1, we had a large amount of yardwork done. And Number 2, Ada's parents came to visit and see the house!
Number 1: The front and back yards are large in size but hadn't been maintained well. Also, the landscaping and placement of trees was just strange. In the front yard, there was a big Yucca (the Yucky Yucca, we call it) tree about 3 feet in diameter with a huge bulbous ugly trunk. There was also a juniper shaped into the shape of a can of tuna. The picture above doesnt show the yucky yucca, but you can see the juniper tin can on the right side. As you can tell, I'm talking about these trees in the past tense. We got rid of them! James was at the house and said it took almost no time at all for the crew to cut down and grind up the big yucca. (There will be more pictures coming soon.)
In the back yard, there is a really big oak tree that will offer a lot of shade in the summer, but was incredibly overgrown. We had the crew prune this tree and we'll see how healthy it is in the spring when it starts to grow its leaves again. During the last big storm, a branch the size of a tree came off and crashed into the ground. We're really lucky how it landed and that it didn't break anything! (Again, more pictures soon.)
Number 2: Ada's parents came to visit from Washington for Thanksgiving and got to see the house! We're really glad they got to see the house before it's finished. These are going to be great before and after pictures.
