It's a Jungle Out There: Part 2

Today we tackled the jungle head on.

At 11:30 we started our jungle take down plan. An hour later we received our first reinforcement, Geoff's dad.

We had large sections down very quickly. We were literally knee deep in ivy for a while.

After Geoff and his dad ran to the dump for the first time the next set of reinforcements showed up. We really kicked things into high gear at this point. Lots of ivy is now gone from the fence. A total of 3 trips to the dump to rid ourselves of this disaster area.

We even had a little friend show up. We are pretty convinced that he was pissed at us for removing the ivy. There had been so many bugs in that jungle, we are pretty sure we destroyed his main source of food. Sorry little dude.

We finally got down to the roots and boy were there a lot. There were a total of seven separate ivy roots. 

Travis, Amanda and my mom took out three together. 

We ended the day around 4 in the afternoon. Not bad for how much we got done. We still have four ivy roots to dig up but we decided we can get those slowly over the next couple of days. Everyone was pretty tired by the end of the day. 

We still have a little bit of work to do on those stubborn ivy roots as well as all our other little projects like the new fence section and the gate face lift but boy doesn't that look so much better.
