We Removed the Forest!


Before: There are about 15 more trees to the left of this picture, blocking all of our windows on the east side of the front of the house.
This last weekend Dave and I spent our Saturday cutting down a portion of our forest in our front yard. We cut down 6-7 trees and still have at least 8 in the front yard and about 12-15 in the backyard. They are all either trash trees or poorly placed and therefore needed to go to make way for a beautifully landscaped yard, we hope? Anyhow, the difference is amazing and althought there hasn't been much landscaping yet, we're very excited to at least be able to see our house out from behind all the forest! And here is the after picture. A whole house!

WOH!!! Oddly enough, my first thoughts are "I bet those windows will be a lot easier for a window washer to wash now..." Haha, oddly enough. As for the first picture, haha, Harris and his belly...

Sheesh, what a difference! It's always nice to actually be able to see out a window!
