The next project is entitled "DIE EVIL LAUREL HEDGE FROM HELL!!!!!!"

This is the hedge. It is evil.  I may have mentioned that already, but it bears repeating.  EVIL.  It needs to be trimmed every single year, by at least a foot off of either side, or we will not have a front lawn.  Whoever decided that a laurel hedge would be a good idea for this house?  EVIL!

Once they're out, we'll be replacing them with these:

No more trimming every single year.  Yaaaaaaa!
