Today Mum & Kerry finished the pruning job. They were closely watched by a pair of "nosey neighbours"!
Cute huh?
They actually met a neighbour of the human kind too. Onyx - she and her partner are also restoring/renovanting an old property in Dawesley. It's nice to know we are not alone in this journey!
Anyway, Mum & Kerry attacked the remnants of the bush with the sabre saw and brute force. A 'tug of war approach' worked best most of the time. Mum ended up flat on her arse in the pile of cuttings a few times - good thing they were there to soften the fall!
Meanwhile, Dad started loading the van for the first (of what will be a few) dump runs. What we learnt today is that 'weeds' are not mulched for use and common ivy is a weed, so $27 later (which was actually discounted as it wasn't 100% ivy) we achieved our first dump run.
Meanwhile, Chocky pretended to be a working dog. He really spent his time exploring, whining or lazing - coming home full of burrs and more exhausted than Mum, Dad & Kerry!
So having progressed with clearing the rear yard we can see what space we have to play with. We just need the boundaries to be surveyed and the design plans will begin.
A bientot!
