September 2011 - January 2012
Before we could landscape we needed a demolition plan. We knew the house had to go, but were hoping to keep as many of the mature trees as possible.
I made a diagram (or multiple diagrams) of how I'd want to landscape the land and it meant a lot of the trees would have to be removed.
You can't tell with all of the leaves, but these trees and bushes had been neglected for about 20 years. They were pretty disfigured with loads of dead branches. One of my favorite trees was split right down the middle and was a huge hazard.
Johnny got to be a manly man and chop everything down. On top of that, he also went through the house and salvaged all of the old doors and windows.
It may seem gloomy, but was on it's way to being cared for and beautiful!
At this stage we were waiting for all of the utilities to be capped off so we could start the process to get a demolition permit.
