Swiped a chainsaw from work yesterday, and also borrowed George's dump trailer to put behind the Rat Tractor.
as I was reading above, some of the remains from that first inital cut were still in the corner of the back yard where Junk Majic used to be, it is all gone now, I burned ALL OF IT!
I also trimmer the trees in the front and side yards as they have been growing and I burned all of that too.
Took out three more trees and trimmer out some others.
George's dump trailer came in real handy yesterday, and I'll prolly go get it again today to move and transport some ground covering to the spot where Loris boat used to be, to fill in a really bad low spot.
I also took the chainsaw and manicured some stumps that I had created and others that were there from the build of the house and lopped them off so that you could mow over them without fucking up the blades.
The RT makes it a lot eaiser to mow the side yard where all the ruts are, but I wish it had a selectable locker in it, as a few times it would get in a situation where it would flex out and do the one wheel peel in the air, I would have to shift my wieght and rock in order for it to get traction again, it does have a really nice 1st gear crawl though.
Funny how when your not a home owner some of the things you never realised what you would need for yard work, weedeeaters, pole saws, sharp shooter, spade, square shovel, ridged and soft rakes, hoe, pruners, sheers, shreader, mower, tractor, trailer, pick-up truck, hand shovel, hand rake, speer, burn bin, seed speader, eyeware, creativity, vision, energy and muscel.
Pending on a few things today, I will also try and get the foundation for the long awaited 8' x 10' tool building build and laid out, then I will assemble multi sections inthe garage so that I can take them out on another day and start erecting the building so I can get even more shit out of the garage for more room to work, this area where the building goes has already been cleared and the foundation block moved over there, they just have to be leveled.
Also today I have about 14 tree trunks from trees I have taken out that need to be cut up for fire wood and that will allow for more land cover to be gone, anyone need some hot burning cedar firewood??
and before it's posted, yes when I get to a certian point today I'll get my wide angle lense out and snap some pics, but then again, you notice a difference, but it's when you see it in person that will knock your socks off, the pics work, but it not nearly and spectacular as it is in person.
Out of all the brush I have burned in the furture pond, the ash I will take and use it for fill in the ruts in the side yard, from what I have read the ash is a great source for fertelizer, I have the 8' x 8' x 2.5' deep bin almost half way full of ash, I'll wet it down to make a mooshy paste and then shovel it into the dump trailer and transport it to the side yard.
After that I'll clean and snad blast the pond, use a come-a-long and flip it on it's side and hand dig a 8' x 8' x 2' deep hold for it to be dropped into, using the dirt to fill in around it and other low spots ot ruts that need it, then I will coat the inside and paint it meduim blue.
More plans are to burry 110v and take it out to the "picnic" area and put in an outlet/light switch on a tree and off that also run some ambiant/indirect lightning in the trees for night time hanging out back there.
Well it's 8am, so I'd better get on with it, daylight is awasting
for the back parimeter of the yard (see illegal drug thread)
