Although I'm sure our neighbors were happy when we first moved in, let's just say that they are probably getting a little sick of the outside of our house with its numerous colors, random weeds, and piles of lathe on the driveway.
We made a slight attempt to get some of it cleaned up. (And by slight attempt, I mean, paid someone to come out and do some weed wacking).
Our right side of our house looks slightly better than before:

No more 4 foot tall weeds here.... although all of the green here is still weeds.

They've been smashed!
He also took down some of the weeds along the side of our garage:

Kinda....
Let's just say there is a little more to go:

Our driveway

No, those are not flowers.

Those bushes need to come out :-) Regardless, we need to put the wood siding on the back here. I kind of forgot about that one.

See that weed to the right of this Japanese Maple?

Look at how tall it is?! Seriously, it must be 7 feet tall. No joke. We officially have the cities tallest dandelion.

More mutant weeds
I can say that I've been too busy to work in the yard, and while that is 97% true, I also loathe any sort of yard work. Yuck. Maybe next weekend :-)
Alok says he doesn't care about the outside of the house until the inside is liveable. Fair enough.
Oh, we also set a date to get the foam insulation sprayed in. October 10th. Think we can make it? Then we can start on drywall!!!
