Keeping the drain areas open is a real big job. We are also dealing with that at our rental house. <br />Hugs,<br />Audrey Z.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517124107548276200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871728063253895865.post-9402560001155414212016-03-22T08:54:46.875-05:002016-03-22T08:54:46.875-05:00Your yard is going to be amazing!

We've been working our tails off on ...oh, yes! We've been working our tails off on the weekends. I work outside nearly every day, but when Hubby is off work, we do the big stuff. Last month we demolished an old tin shed and put it on the trailer to take a load of scrap metal to recycling. How on earth did we end up with over a ton of the stuff? Then we took down our wooden shed that was over our well equipment. The weekend after that we built a frame to pour a concrete pad for the new well shed. Weekend after that we moved a small shed on the property to its new location onto the concrete to be the new well shed. The past two weekends were hooking back up the electric (I had to stay near Steve in case he tried to electrocute himself) and the water. We were successful. I have gotten started on clearing part of our property that has grown up with junk trees and, this year, a banner crop of beggar's lice and velcro plant. I have a shrimp plant that has gone wild and it needs to be eradicated as well. For the very first time ever I held -- and used -- a weed eater. After about half an hour I couldn't lift my left arm if my life depended on it. I think I'll get out the RoundUp instead.
