My pops is in town visiting, so after some golf and some dinners out, it's time to do some fun yard work. And boy did we have some fun back there. First we went to town on some stumps. We cut the tops off and then drilled a bunch of wholes in the tops of the stumps. Then we dumped some "stump out" into the wholes and added water. The idea is this should rot the stump from the inside so we can easily grind it up and just put soil over it. Time will tell how well this works.
While we were doing this Kara was working on the ivy along the side fence. The goal was just to clean this up so it looked nicer, but at some point I wondered, what would happen if I messed with some of the vines on the other side of the fence. I pulled on one and the whole thing started to go. Turns out there was a solid 3 feet of dead vines growing on the side of the fence. Unfortnuately this little find meant hours of clean up followed by a future trip to the dump.
The benefit is that the yard actually looks under control and the fence will be much easier to tear down when I am finally ready to level the ground out and put in a nice new vinyl fence. Plus we found this little lizard friend. Or I should say Kara found it and freaked way out, running down her ladder and across the yard. :)
