New Trees

Last week I planted 40 new trees, most along my new fence line, some along the cedar fence to provide future hot tub privacy and block the view of the neighbors shed, and a few on city property, up on the easement area just to add some character. I did not know this for all my trees I had planted in the past, but when planting them, you should be cutting the root ball or shaving the root ball slightly on 3 or 4 sides so that the roots can spread and grow easier when you plant and not stay stuck in a round planter shape.

Fustrated

Bats, bugs, so many problems, doing a full reno can be more headache than it is worth. People keep telling me I am crazy and I should have just bought something that was already finished, or even to tear it down and build new. So last week, after the bats in the attic, I made the call. I hired a demo crew and in one day they tore the house down and removed all the debris. Done, so easy, now I can start fresh and new with no problems!!
