Don’t know if anybody remembers back (this time last year, actually) when I embarked on this mission to overhaul my back yard.. And we did it.. But we have let it slide again. At least the back yard has grass, and it isn’t as bad as it was before we resoded but there are weeds.. lots of them in the back yard AND front.

I’m just so amazed our HOA hasn’t sent us a warning yet. It really is looking like some trailer trash people live at our house. We still have that gaping hole, we have plywood leaning up against the front of the house, over grown hedges, so on and so forth.

Well, I’ve finally accepted the fact that we bought into a house we just can’t maintain on our own. There’s just too much to take care of so I hired us some help this week.

The dude passed by our house to look at it yesterday morn. Then when I spoke to him he sounded like maybe he bit off more than he could chew. the property’s bigger than what he’s used to working on, but he’ll do it anyway, he says. $75 / month and he’ll come out every other week. This is what he quoted me BEFORE he got to see it and something tells me he wishes he’d seen it before giving me a quote. LOL!! If he had up’d the price I still would have paid it. I dunno if I should pay him more anyway.

anybody know what lawn care usually goes for? I’ve got no idea. I didn’t even call anybody else. Just went wit the first guy i saw in the newspaper.

anyways, it’s really bad and there’s a lot of work to do. I think i’ll snap some before pics of it so I can compare when he’s done.
