It might be the understatement of the century to say the trees around our house really needed to be trimmed. It could've been 25 years since they'd been done!

| My 80 year old Dad; a total rockstar |
My Dad helped me trim some of the most offensive branches from the front of the house (they were resting on the porch roof....yikes). While we were on the flat roof, we cleaned all of the small plants out of the gutters along with the typical gutter gunk. Did I mention yet that my Dad is the best? Because he is (see above re: gutter gunk).

| Why wouldn't they?? |
Chris had committed to a charity golf outing on the day I figured I could work on the exterior of the house; but he made sure to swing by with a friend or two to show them the house. Note their mode of transport :)

Once our tenants moved out, we hired a professional to remove the dead/diseased trees in the back & heavily trim/prune everything else. We love how big the sky in our yard seems now!
Thankfully though, little Lizzie got a chance to swing in the hammock before we had to remove those trees!

| Before- where is the house?!? How 'bout the touchdown tree? |
The backyard feels so much bigger now that the dead trees & overhanging branches have been removed. We had to get rid of the funniest looking tree we'd ever seen, pet named (by us) the "touchdown tree", which wasn't ideal- but it was dead as a door nail - so out it went!. The only bummer? Where will we hang the hammock now?!? Thoughts are welcome!
