The Backyard Transformed

Our backyard has now been transformed thanks to a Romanian. It costs 16 Euro an hour to hire a manual labourer here. He toiled for 3 weeks and spending nearly 15 hours to trim the trees, cut the hedges and clear-up the wood pile and all sort of things that were dumped by previous tennants before. Its now ready for the Spring and the Summer!

Open burning is banned in The Netherlands. So a large green bin is provided by the City for weekly collection of anything organic. But this was not enough to dump the clearings in one go. So I have to something like over 30 large bags sent to the city's dump collection area. Luckily I had a rental car in one of the weekend!
