Yesterday was a big day. I brought in the crew, or should I say family, who generously helped me all afternoon clearing the overgrown forest that clearly had taken over the property. As you can see from the picture below, which I will refer to as B.C. (before clean up!), and then you will see afters, A.D. (after demolition!)....you can see what a little bit of elbow grease can do to a place!
The formula for this project:
2 Aunts
2 Uncles
2 Parents
1 boyfriend
(me)
1 trailer for brush
2 chain saws
pruning sheers
top soil (left by the previous owners, than you very much!)
brown bags for brush for garbage day
a few other gardening tools
And before you know it...your property will grow by feet!! Check out the results!

I even had a few neighbours praise us while we were working! I have been officially accepted to the neighbourhood. |
This is the driveway, that can only fit one car due to the over growth (BC) |
Now there is enough space for three cars to fit! Once the over growth was cut down, it was amazing how big the property felt. (Driveway, AD) |
And you are asking yourself....did the owner's before not believe in gardening tools? The answer: No. |
You can now actually see the backyard to the street. And all the brush that now needs to be transported to the dump. That is not the fun part. |

The sign of hard work (and even some transplanting in the back)! We moved some of the over grown grass to the back to help with privacy. |
Trailer full for the dump. |
Thanks for all those who helped and stopped by today to see our progress! You have no idea how much it means to me!
Happy Monday!
