Trev and I tackled the front flower bed during a sunbreak this afternoon. I think we talked about the previous tenants who were not at all invested in the property (which is what The Landlord needed). They let the space (entire house) go. Ivy snaked under the house and up the rain spouts. We blocked several holes in the foundation. Hopefully we did not lock any critters in there. But I will let the BEFORE pictures speak for themselves:
We dug up three rugs, several wrappers, animal bones, and other odds and ends. There were SO many spiders, potato bugs, a beetles. I hated it, but pushed through the fear and we FINISHED IT!
What a difference just a little elbow grease can make! While we were working, several neighbors stopped to tell us that the house has not looked so good in years. Its so nice to live in a community again. The Big City made us feel so isolated from the rest of the people who love us. Even strangers here want to talk! :)
ivy can just go crazy! looks so good. your busy with your new little home!!!
