What's cooking for everyone this weekend?
Probably continuing a project I started last week with my FIL's help. I should post it in the
thread, but we've started cutting down a bunch of tall,
useless pine trees around my side yard. It's step one of a years long (1-2 probably) project to convert wasted nasty yard space to a much nicer, usable outdoor area. Last week he helped me totally redo an overgrown flower bed by planting a hydrangea bush surrounded by sedum, mulch, and rocks. Then we started on the trees and got 2 cut down and chopped up. We cut and saved the big logs for a future fire pit and cut the smaller branches to be picked up with my other regular yard waste, except they didn't pick up the branches
is friends with someone in village government so she asked her what we need to do to get them picked up, so I'm not too worried about it. Got 10 more trees to go and the plan is to get as many cut as possible before the weather turns to serious
in the next few weeks, then continue in the spring. Doing it ourselves should save
amounts of scratch, at LEAST several hundo, if not low four figures/tree.
