Progress is being made on my little group of projects, yay! The tree-removal date is set for Aug. 5th, and a tentative date for the fence is set for the 25th. (that is always dependent on weather, of course). Had the excavator out the other day, to give us ideas of how to prep the area(s) for concrete, and ideas of co$t$; the concrete guy will be here today at 4:00 for his own ideas and estimates. Those 2 guys work together, and I tried so hard to get them both TOGETHER for the estimate appointment, but it all kept falling apart (this one could come but the other one couldn't, then the other one could, but the first one got delayed at work...), so I ended up HAVING to schedule them in 2 separate appointments. Don't like that, but whatcha gonna do, eh?

Here's a couple "before" shots of the trees to be removed...

1: the little "copse" out back
2: the horrid Holly (nothing personal Holly, you are wonderful!!) on the side of the house.

Been staring at that icky looking wood fence out back, imagining how pretty it's gonna look with a fresh new white vinyl privacy fence back there. AND along the side! Ooooh BOY!
