BIG Changes, Part Two

So more has happened around the house. We've actually pulled the bushes we were trimming out of the ground, and converted the satellite dish into a solar light post. Now we've just got to remove some trees from the back yard, although I guess we're getting in a professional tree service to take care of that.

BIG Changes Around The House

So some pretty big changes have been happening around my house this past week.

The first thing we've done is cut out a series of bushes from the front of our house. They've been there since we've moved in, and that's back in the summer before I was in 2nd grade! Among the needles of the fallen are various items, including broken roof shingles and old plastic bags that got caught up in the branches and needles. The only thing left to do is to remove the stumps.

The second thing that's happened is the removal of a VERY old satellite dish. This thing is quite large, unlike the satellite dishes of today. So far we've taken out the panels that compose the dish part and cut the antenna's cables out. Actually the Antenna is part of the reason we've stopped. It turns out that there's a huge wasp's nest in the housing of the antenna, and that once we removed it we really disturbed them. The other part of the reason that we've stopped is that my dad has to go to work today.

That's about it as far as updates go. My dad took a few pictures of the dish as we were working on it, and if he uploads them like I think he's going to, I'll make sure you guys get to see them.

So I might as well give a real update...

So I've left this blog without much for a little while.

Let's see. I visited my relatives in Torrington, Wyoming and the Scottsbluff/Gering area a few weeks ago. We stayed for an entire week. I was there for my cousin's graduation. I'd type more about it, but I'm tired.

Meh. I'm not in an updating mood, really. I'm still around, though.
