Showcasing our home

While I concentrated on the inside of our home, Bob worked on restoring the 3.5 acres that were already cleared -- except for the brush that was growing along all the fence lines and surrounded all the 60+ oak trees. And then there were all the old logs, some rotten, that were left around the trees by the previous owners after Huricane Claudete hit the area July, 2003. Needless to say, many copperhead snakes called this area, "home" until Bob evicted them and sent them to their eternal reward in our dry creek. Finally, with the help of Johnny Bush and his bulldozer and a lot of calimine lotion and cornstarch for poison oak, Bob declared victory over the front acreage. It took several months of sweat and sore muscles, but our home no longer looked like nobody cared.
