We got it done today. Wednesday all the bushes and trees will be removed. We are adding a red leaved tree and a cherry blossom tree soon. Its all coming along.

UPDATED...
Some treeless pics...#3 and 4 is after we removed all the bushes. What do you think? Does it look better? We will do some landscaping in the fall.

Karissa the house looks great! I like the blue shutters & doors. Does the roof have blue in it? It all coordinates nicely.

You have a Levitt cape right? Did they add a room in front or push out the 'living room'. I really like how it looks and it seems pretty big. Our house the kitchen is extened out the side a bit, so we have a washer/dryer room), and the back is dormered. If we stay we are thinking of dormering the front, expanding the kitchen out the front (so it looks like yours, but opposite).

Yesterday we had an electrician here. I am so happy that is done, they replaced all the wiring outside, added a bunch of outlets all over, installed a hall light, and a new bathroom fixture. Next week we are having the 6 windows upstairs replaced!! Those are the big things for this year.

Good luck with homeownership. It is tons of fun, but a lot of work. We have been here 4.5 months and still have tons to do.

Thanks!!! The roof does have blue in it. The house is extended out in the LR in the front and the left side. We have a laundry room behind the LR because of the side extension. You can see it better in the 2nd pic. It is a Levitt cape. The LR is really big because of the 2 extensions. I can't wait to do everything we want to.

P.S.-Is that your house in the avatar? Very nice!

Oh yeah, I missed that side extension you have. Very cool. Your living room must be a great size - can't wait to see pics. I love the blue roof. Yes that pic in my avatar is our house. I want to stain the fence in front white, however we might just replace the fence in the back and then decide about the front. So we will see. Let me know how your fence guys work out.

Wow it looks a lot nicer. I am not a fan of big bushy things. I think pink flowers would look great next spring

looks great!!!
We're trying to gradually cut down the bushes in front of our co-op.....they're not really our property, but they're so ugly...and we could put lots of pretty flowers in there....who's going to notice really??
