What a Project!

We've gotten 2 notices from the city that we needed to cut our lawn by May 7. They stopped by on the 5th and noticed we had started working on it, so they extended it until the 14th. I wish it was grass, but the entire yard is weeds. As soon as the inside of the house is done and put away, we will be starting on the outside. I bought an awesome lawn mower on KSL a couple of weeks ago for only $100! It did an awesome job. It took me a long time, but we finally got it done. I forgot to take pictures of it before I started cutting it, so just imagine the whole yard looking like this:
Josh and Steve spent one evening until midnight using sickles to cut down part of the weeds. I had to rake it all up then mow over it. They sickled about 1/4 of the yard.Here is the area they sickled after I raked and mowed. Almost the finished project. I didn't take pics after I was done b/c it was late at night. I mowed the edges to the fence, then a neighbor came over with a trimmer and finished it for us. Looks great, but too bad it's not grass.
