Not much going on at the homestead recently. Just doing some clean up work around the yard as the weather allows. The previous owner was an elderly lady who must have had a hard time keeping up with yard maintenance. We did learn from neighbors she was outside doing stuff and that she had landscapers come every now and again but most everything is overgrown and unkempt. The beds look like there are a few years of leaves in them, the bushes and shrubs were out of control and the fence between the front and back yard needs some serious help. We've already described the ivy removal in detail in a previous post.
I raked the lawn as best I could to try and get some of the dead grass and debris up to aerate the soil. We need to get some fertilizer and seed down to thicken and green it up. The lawn's actually not too bad but could be better. When I look at our neighbor's yards, I get a little sad since theirs are all so suburban-lawn perfect.What I'd really like to do is put that spreader that we haggled over at the house closing to use one of these days...
I'm also sorry to say there are no pics. Didn't think to break out the camera for such mundane activities and there's really no discernible difference in the appearance of the yard at this point.
In other news, we have now obtained three estimates for electrical work. We have been advised by my dad to get a fourth one since there was such disparity between all of them. Hopefully we can get all this ironed out soon so I can start fixing up the garage.
Hang in there for the next update, hopefully that one will be a little more exciting.
