Re: itchy juevos
I've been spending a lot of time in my yard the past few weeks, so I thought I'd show you all what I was up to. I have half an acre of land, and wanted to fence some of it in for my roommate's pet. My dad volunteered to buy it for me for some reason, so he and I spent a weekend building a fence around half of my yard... the following few weekends I have spent most of my time cleaning up all the brush everywhere to make it look more like a yard and less like a jungle. a few pics below.
before any work (pic taken last year)

after the fence has been built. we cut all the trees up about 5 feet so we could run the fence, but you can tell there's still quite a bit of work to do. (it's bare because it's barely spring :p)

the remaining pics were taken today. I've spent the past few weeks cleaning all the shit up around the tree in the back of the fenced part of the yard, and trying to clean up the fenceline on the right-hand side. Poison ivy covers most of this section, plus the back half of the left section of the yard... I've sprayed some grass/weed killer over this shit, but i don't think it's going to work :what

my front yard... the one I'm actually mowing right now :lol: I have been working to get the brown spots green again by spraying some grass health bullshit and laying seed.
