A local mowing franchise have just quoted us $1200 to remove the wisteria from our back courtyard.
Now granted, it's the wisteria from hell, but $1200?
12 hours work for two people, they reckon.
I reckon an enthusiastic rabbit with a chainsaw could do it in a day, for no more payment than the chainsaw itself. So sod it, this weekend is hack-and-slash weekend.
Anyone who wants to drop around with secateurs, pruning hooks, saws or napalm welcome. BYO gloves.
(I should point out, before people actually drop over, that this has been superseded by my next post. If you drop over this weekend with gardening equipment, we'll look at you funny and send you home)
