How I did it: Sometimes you just gotta get out there, throw yourself into and get it done- even if it takes several days or weeks to finish. You end up learning a lot. Not only how to do something you've never done before but also what you're made of and that sometimes, as badly as you want someone else to do 'it' for you, the best person to rely on to get it done to your satisfaction is YOU.

Lessons & tips: Babysteps. Do a little at a time and just keep going. Otherwise, you'll get overwhelmed and want to give up!

Resources: a lawnmower, a bushwacker, a pair of hedge clippers, pruning shears, lopping shears, a bow saw, a rake, my 13 year old son and 30 years worth of pent up rage
