Day 10 - The massacre at Bridlewood

Wow, it was hot out. I was dripping, ugh, hope I lost some weight in the process.

I started tackling the root of the problem, ha ha, and was able to get 5 of the bushes completely out from the ground. On the sixth however, I broke Mr. Boehmer's spade, sorry. It was older and it was time for it to retire, but I still felt really bad using someone else's tools and not returning it in the same if not better condition. He was kind enough to give me a really nice new one to continue with.


This was the biggest root of the bushes I got out today. Boy was it heavy also. Nice little hole in the ground where it came from.


 I finished up with knocking out a portion of the last bush. Unfortunately to my surprise, this is three bushes that grew together, no wonder so much of it is dead inside. Now I have 6 more roots to get out instead of 4.

In case you were wondering what type of bushes these were, I was luckily enough to find a tag in the ground by the root of one of the bushes. Surprise. Surprise.


Here is the latest of the house. I hope to have the front right side done before Friday. Going to be close.
