Spring Cleaning?

The past two weekends have been busy at the Beattie house. Last weekend we installed a new dishwasher all by ourselves and this weekend we (mostly Mike) conquered the massive rhododendron!!


Old, loud, broken dishwahser...


Gone...gone...gone...


Check out the results! Mike did a fantastic job, and what do you know it cleans dishes too!!



For those of you who don't remember, the rhododendron is the massive bush to the right of our house. Pretty huge, huh? We found out from our neighbors that it was huge when they moved in 24 years ago, so it's one old bush! Too big and too close to the house though, so it had to go!


Mike did a great job chopping it down, while I clipped all the branches and prepared for bundling so the town will take it!

There it is, all bundled and ready to be taken away...


Look at what was left, that should be a piece of cake to remove right??????



WRONG!!! Mike spent the entire day on Sunday digging and chopping it out. But he did it!! Now, what do we do with it???
