ROCKY HILL

Saturday morning we loaded the truck with stumps and roots and headed to the Raritan Recycling Center to dump it. Then we got back and loaded the truck with garbage that has been laying around outside and took that to the Hunterdon County transfer station. YAY! Two more truckloads of junk is gone. It stinks because it took up the entire morning because the line at the transfer station is ridiculously long even if you get there early but it is great that the yard has two less truck loads of garbage laying around.

When we got back Tommy got the rest of the stumps off the front yard and I planted the rest of the junipers on the hillside. Then Tommy brought me scoops of the river rocks we had plucked out of some loads of soil we got for free and but them at the bottom of the hillside for me to lay out under the junipers. I did just that while Tommy shredded and moved some of the "garbage" leftover from the sawmill. Anything small enough was shredded and the rest is on the large firewood pile in the backyard. Laying those rocks out is quite a bit of work on that hill. It might not seem very steep but it is a workout. It was great when Tommy was done with his work and we could pick out the size rock we needed from the pile, put it in the bucket of the kubotka, and then place them where we needed to directly out of the bucket. I think it is looking pretty good so far.

OUTSIDE!!!

It was such a beautiful day today that we just couldn't bear to work inside afterwork.

We need some topsoil for the front yard and some more dirt to finish the grading. In order to do that we need to take some of the dirt from the backyard. The area in front of the shed needs to be cut out and graded so we spent the evening cleaning out the shed and moving everything to the basement and then we cut up the plywood and scrapwood and piled it up in the family room for some fireplace burning. We have a little bit more to clean up and then we can either MOVE or DESTROY the shed, we haven't decided which yet!
