boy can I identify with you. the man I bot this house from didn't believe in
yardwork. The fence along oneside was almost falling over it was so heavy with
ivy. I trailed into the yard/lawn. I found maple trees growing in cracks on
the driveway to lower garage and on the stairwell in the flower beds, some had
gotten quite large. I spent my first summer in Ohio clearing out the growth he
let run amuck.

Sorry to hear you're have the same troubles, hope the redo is swift and the
outcome delightful.
