OK, so we came across a great deal and got about 110 trees for free! We got about 100 Leyland Cypress, 2 dogwoods, 2 redbuds, 1 weeping cherry, and 3 plums for free! The only trick was that we had to plant them....yuck! But after it is all done they look great! Here is a pic after we did the front trees (we lined our front property line with 55 so we could block the road). I know they look really tiny here, but if you look closely you can see they are the same height as the port-o-john and dumpster in the background. They stand at about 6 ft. tall. Can you imagine planting all those...yeah it was NO fun!
On another note, thanks to our lovely electrical inspector, we are a bit delayed. We didn't get power until today and the HVAC has to run 2 days before they can start sanding and staining the floors (due to humidity in the house). So....that probably doesn't put us at completing until next week 6/12. We are going to HAVE to close on the 19th because my rate lock expires on the 21st (which is a Sunday) and interest rates have already gone up since I locked at 4.875. I hope the appraiser is ok with partly finished floors! haha. I am sure he will be, and if he comes after wednesday they should be all done.....BUT the carpet won't be down yet...oh well, it will all work out. Hopefully. :(
Oh the joys of delays! We couldn't sleep in our house foe two weeks after our wedding bc some lovely inspector would just approve our air!! It will get done! Were did u get the trees?
