hello friends today is a wonderful day I've completed number seven on my top ten home improvement projects of 2016 goals stay tuned allow me to pause for a second from the time left to appreciate and hate these things that I just cut out let me see if I can get real close can you see these real sharp thorns on these rambles they are horrible I got poked by these so many times I can't tell you I think there might be an invasive species I've heard this well but they are beautiful and read sometimes in the years so I think that's why they were probably put here another interesting thing take a look at the color of the stalks that I cut pretty that's all I want you to take a look at the stuff I'll find the porch these roots these are gonna paralleling against the house here I mean look at that I gotta cut it off and put some treatment on it and I found out that this Creek here this brick roots underneath ha I've got to admit it was pretty hard to do all of that last year when we have the driveway redone and I had a tuck point or come and do some work on the stone in the front they both insisted that when I get rid of all those bushes I don't get somebody to come in and rip them out because the roots would be going underneath my driveway or sidewalk or underneath my foundation itself and I'm glad I took their advice because some of those roots were directly along the front of the wall and one of them actually went underneath I think that's what caused that front brick to be a little bit dislodged so all in all that was over 25 bushes that I got to cut and shovel and snip and dig out myself so good workout for my back I did a lot of stretches because stretching is important so I'd love to hear what kind of manual labor you've done that could have been done a lot easier with power tools what you decided to do it by hand anyways let me know in the comment section below thanks for taking the time to watch this video I'm the Midwest man mountain be sure to subscribe and until next time bye you
