Trees Coming Down... its a big Mess

It's been a very long weekend. Bruce spent ALL day friday in a man lift. Today we went and rented a Chipper. Where it may have costed us thousands of dollars hiring an Arborist. We are probably in this project $750.00. We will post pictures after the mess has been cleaned up.

Say goodbye to the Dead Trees!

We have two dead Aspen in our back yard. In addition we have two Pine Trees that will have to be removed they are growing into each other. Bruce is going to rent a man lift next weekend to cut them down. Our back yard is a mess! Getting rid of the dead trees is just the begining. The yard needs a serious Manicure!! The old basketball hoop will have to be removed.

Lowes Clearance Weekends!!

Bruce went to Lowes yesterday afternoon and discovered a treasure upon his shopping experience. He found Bathroom Vanities on Clearance. We purchased a double sink Vanity for our Master Bath Remodel. The Vanity was originally tagged at $568.00 dollars we got it for $279.00 that means we saved 50% on the Vanity. That's money in our pocket! It pays to shop the clearance aisle at lowes every weekend. (picture will be added later)
