The Bushy Bush Removal

Home improvement project #2 (see below for #1) was to remove this gross, smelly, overgrown bush of sorts from the west side of my garage. It was growing up into the eaves and my home insurance company wasn't happy about the fire hazard of it and wanted it trimmed or removed. I think its ugly, so I opted to remove it. Again, I solicited the help of a man (Greg)... I don't have a husband to give a honey-do list to, so I just recruit as needed! :) Sorry, no before pictures... I forgot. But I've got the working pics.

Greg and I hacked it down with loper-off-ers (I'm sure that's not the official tool name, but I thought it was cute that Greg kept referring to them as that... and he was serious).


Then we dug around the base of it, picked it a bit...

... and then, POP!
...it came out!

We were expecting to have to chain it up and pull it out with his truck, but that wasn't necessary. We loaded up all the debris and took it to the dump...
end of bush.

So, do you like how I keep saying "we" did all this stuff, when, truth be told, Greg did a lot of the work. He was just stronger and faster than me. A big thank you to him, especially since he got up at 5:30am on a Saturday to do this so we could beat the heat.

I know, this wasn't that exciting of a post, but it is for me. Sorry, no booty pictures to vote on for this yard project. I'll have to keep that in mind next time. (By the way, booty #3 won... I personally voted for #2. I liked how it showed width AND curve. All of you, apparently, like just plain width!)
