There were trees & bushes growing up the side of the house.
Had to get rid of them.
Which there was - need to get back in there with a weed whacker and some paint. Previous owners must have treated it a as a garbage dump - some people have no respect for their own property.
While I was on top of the garage I snapped some shots of the entire yard which had just been mowed (thanks to my dad!).
