Removing the bushes...

We finally decided to remove the bushes in front of the town house so that we could sit out with the kids..

before..

This is the stump that took like 3 hours to get out..

After.. we started at 8 am and finished at almost 9 pm.. so these were taken last night.

We still have more to do, but you get the idea..

we now have a useable sitting area..
