Gardening - General 7:55:00 [2]
Yard Restoration - Day 3 of 3
6:45 am - 8:30 am
Restoring my tracks through the bush.
Cutting up about 4 fallen trees down the back bush block (and wheelbarrowing the branches to the fire pit) to clear all the tracks and picking up large sticks and branches on the tracks.
Drink break.
8:50 am - 9:50 am
Continuing cutting up fallen trees.
Need a chainsaw for some of them as too large and heavy to cut by hand.
9:50 am - 10:20 am
Burning branches in Fire Pit.
Reinforcements arrived!
My brother and his family to repay some of my deck building slave labouring.
10:35 am - 12:45 am
With brother raking around saplings and whippersnipping areas that the mower can't get to. Starting to get too windy to burn so piled leaves up to one side - as if put them on yesterdays ash they would combust from the latent heat.
Lunch.
1:25 pm - 2:15 pm
With brother raking and poly trailers full of leaves from grass area either side of the drainage trench.
Reinforcements retreated. :-(
2:35 pm - 3:35 pm
Solo raking and poly trailers full of leaves either side of drainage trench.
3:35 pm - 4:15 pm
Whippersnipping the grass area either side of the drainage trench now that the bulk of leaves and twigs removed. The ride on lawn mower was nearly out of fuel and I had none in the jerry can so I didn't want to run out and get stranded .... and I couldn't be bothered with the 30 minute return drive to go and get some.
Break for the day.
