Summer Cleaning

in #life8 years ago

So this weekend was the first weekend I got a chance for spring cleaning, but the only problem was it is summer now. The temps were not nice, but the things still needed to get done. We have quite a few trees, and those things seem to grow feet every year. So it was trimming time, and trimming was done. 20180610_201718.jpg

I did wait for evening to not be out in the hottest part of the day, but was sure glad I have a pool. Only problem, is I hope my pile is not to big for the city to take, and sometimes I feel they make a bigger mess of things. Last time I bagged all the trash so nicely, and when I came home there was stuff all over the place, like they intentionally popped every bag, and then only took half. But I have faith they had a good weekend.

Sort:  

That sucks you went to all the effort to bag it correctly and then they just shredded it. Hopefully it goes better this time. I'm curious to know how it turns out.

Ya, but that is called experience, now I know not to waste my time, and just to expect to clean up a mess.

One of the areas that constantly surprises me is in selling homes. There are certain times when you just know that whoever buys the home is going to do a lot of work on the house anyways, so I don't understand why the seller puts so much effort and money into making it nice. I have seen at least a few times where the seller should have known the home was going to be razed, but they still fixed it up to sell it. The buyers just wanted the land, so sure enough they tore the house down and all the money put into fixing it up went down the drain. It's sad, really. I guess maybe they'll figure it out eventually.

hello bud

High hows it going, and I did not know we were buds...

Well we are buds if you cool with it?

I dread trimming......you just reminded me of what I gotta do this weekend. I may post it so you can laugh at me because it a freaking mess.😂

Good of you. Though the weather is not friendly, you still went ahead with the cleaning.

Cleanliness is close to Godliness

nice to meet you~ have a nice day^^

Short comments - "Extraordinary"

Good you have pool when its gets too hot, you simply just dive in and cool your temp. Who took half of the thrash, is it the waste disposals?
How is your daughter doing?

Look out for the hazard of cleaning when you know you had to get things done right? It's probably for the best, since the season is over, well it's seems trimming seems the best choice, well do you consider burning?

Keeping your garden nice and tidy 😊 Let's hope the rubbish removal does the same!

Nice I always like rewards, that come with a pitch to vote for someone, sounds like a political party.

Seems like you did the trimming very nicely indeed !

If it is cleaned it is because it is cleaned and if we have it ugly with many trees and branches then they also complain hahaha. A refreshing drink to cope with the weather and hands on the job. Successes!

It must feel so good to finish your summer cleaning all done and hopefully the city will be able to take all of this, so you can just sit and relax in your pool now.

I also feel myself so lucky that I have a pool even I don't have too much time for swimming :D but you had a great job. You deserved swimming :D

We cut down a tree in our backyard a few weeks ago. It was rotting and ugly and had to go. Spent a weekend cooling it up and hauling it to our disposal site. We can bring yard waste and dump it for free so I brought it all over in a few trailer loads. Thankfully the heat wasn’t too bad.

Your post has been very nice. I hope you will be with us by posting better.
