Another Ghetto Yard Update

Just to make me feel good about our slow but sure progress in the backyard, I thought I'd post another update. Here is the graveyard cleaned out. Looks so painless, but I assure you it was not. You can even see a bit of the "tunnel" behind Katie that we didn't get rid of yet. We need to give this area a major pep-up, but the verdict is out on what to do with it.

Here's the next project. Tearing off the rotted addition to the garage and either rebuilding it or just putting a new wall on the back of the garage. You can see all the damage the ivy and creeper did to it. I'm DREADING this. Maybe we'll put it off until next Spring.





Oh, but the craziness continues. John chopped down a tree and a month or so, cut down the stump. Almost overnight, this nasty a-- fungus has grown all over the stump.





It's DISGUSTING! I tried to get Katie to go over to it and take a picture, but this is as close as she got. She's been freaking out about it all weekend saying she feels like the fungus is crawling all over her. So today, I'm going to figure out the best way to get rid of it permanently. Gotta love it!
