Pruning trees and shrubs

| Home Remodeling – Bākūži | 20 seen

One of my biggest challenges last summer was unstoppable fight with grass (see: Lawn Mowing), not to mention larger scale works on roof replacement. But there was another major issue we faced - overgrown bushes and totally deprived landscape. 

When dealing with trees and shrubs it's not only about landscape, but also about their health. You want healthy landscape right? Now, we had a really deprival and unhealthy landscape in our backyard territory.

In the middle somewhere there are cherry trees, plum trees and apple trees. Barely can notice anyone yet.

I was tired from yesterday's roof removal works, and instead of myself trimming and chain sawing here I asked our worker to take care of this. God, that guy was our best find that summer, he is a virtues at anything he does, without help of him I doubt we would finish 20% of our works there. That is a good lesson, you cannot handle everything - you need help to achieve your goals.

Now you can at least notice some shapes and forms of trees growing here.

Now, from these logs a nice fire wood will be made and lovely Christmas evenings will be spent in front of the fireplace (still need to construct that before)

Berlin Zoo and Aquarium: One of the Best Things To Do in Berlin With Kids

At the start of April 2026, during our roughly five-day trip to Berlin, we finally visited the famous Berlin Zoo for the first time - or at least the first time I can actually remember. There is a chance my mom might have taken me here sometime in the early 1990s, but if so, those memories are long gone. This visit felt completely new, and…
