Barn Raising Has Begun

Before things started to leaf out we started preparing the veggie garden- finishing the last of the our three raised beds and adding irrigation.


We pruned the old pear tree, cutting off any dead limbs, old cut-off stumps and thinned it out

The side yard filled up quickly with hot tub decking and yard waste.




We started talking about taking down the unhealthy Norway Maple at the corner of our lot that had been stuck by lighting causing one whole side of the trunk to be naked of branches. The dense foliage of the tree also cast alot of shade onto the yard.



The corner of the property is a real mess and we are planning to install more cedar fence to replace the chainlink along the back of the property.


The entire fence line is thick with trees growing through the fence, rotting away and sprouting saplings. Our neighbors in the blue house were selling their house so they did not want us to move forward with our plans until after closing day, when they could be sure the buyers wouldn't shut down the deal because we chopped down the tree below...so we waited...
