After that, we started removing the rock. We hope to use it again, but it has a lot of dirt mixed in with the rock, so we'll have to find a good way to clean the rock.
One of the most satisfying jobs was removing the edging. It took less than 5 minutes and we could quickly see our progress!
After the bushes and rock were gone, we had to dig out the stumps. Surprisingly, it didn't take a lot of strength or effort, just time.
Here is a picture of the house with a few stumps left to remove:
A few things I'm learning from this project:
- House projects always take longer than you think
- I am capable of more than I realize
- It is possible to work outside in 90-degree weather and stay alive
- I enjoy doing landscape work
- Working in the yard creates more opportunities to interact with my neighbors
