The Yard
May 31, 2007
At the time we made the offer, the yard was overgrown. This was in mid-March. A little intimidating, but completely doable in terms of being able to clear it.
After we got the keys, we discovered the yard had grown into a jungle with 5 foot tall weeds.
We spent Memorial Day Weekend clearing the yard. Jeff and I were out there all three days pulling weeds by hand. Dad and Candy came to help us on Monday. We made pretty good progress. But there is still a lot of work to do before the yard looks really great.
We had a 9′ x 9′ tarp that we were dumping the yard waste on. By the end of the weekend, the pile of plant material was taller than me.
