Hi peeps! :D

Happy weekend!
 
I also removed a tree from my front yard myself! :strong:

The tree was in a bad spot, right next to the house. If it got any bigger the roots might damage the foundation and the front porch. The branches would scratch against the house whenever it was windy too. I tried trimming them and they'd grow back too fast. It had to go.

Damn, muscles! You go, hon :)

But yeah, definitely have to get that out of there before it does damage!

Yeah I broke a bunch of branches off first and then leaned on the trunk with all my weight and force until it started tipping over. Then I used a shovel to dig out the stump and cut a bunch of roots. It was a BITCH to get out but I felt very satisfied when it was all the way out.

Definitely, and saved a lot of money over having someone come and do it for you.
 
DAMN!! Well done, Mr. Muscles!! That's a hell of a savings!
Lol, thanks.

Thinking of going to home depot and getting some of these:

...putting them in the spot where tree was and putting a couple of my large potted plants there.

I should put plastic under the stepping stones too so weeds don't grow in between.

Yes! Absolutely, that'd look great :)

100%, anything to stop those damn weeds!
 
Those concrete stepping stones are really cheap, about $1.69 each. Just checked the home depot website.
 
How annoyed would they be if I bought them online and an employee had to gather up 25 of those things (or however many I decide to buy) and having them waiting for me at the front desk for pickup? :P

Do it!! lol, they're probably used to that at this point, so many people using the online ordering and pickup.

I know right, I don't want to have to walk all the way back to the designated department and load them into a cart and then go to a register.
