Cut down all the azalea bushes on the front of my property. This time, I worked smart on the bushes. I have a lot of cable wire that I get from the cable company. They waste so much. They just throw it out.
Anyway, I tied each bush up really tight with the cable wire. Made it easier cutting with the chainsaw. The really big deal is I drag one huge wad of bush and throw on the truck. Less work and less bloodshed too!! WIN-WIN METHOD!!
Next I dug my trench around the front of the house. I will dose it up good next week (rain predicted tomorrow) with the vinagar, salt and Original Dawn Dishwashing Concentrate ... cover it over, then spray the top about 2 feet out from the foundation with same mixture. That will keep it free of any type vegetation for a very long time.
Bagged up four bags of pine mulch. Now that is hard work. Scraping the forest floor means removing eight to twelve inches in some places ... and it is wet, very yucky close to the ground. I just do a little section at a time.
Came across two snakes. Almost stepped on one. (near chit myself) Grabbed my snake-slayer and glasses. Once I put on my glasses, I could see coloring better and knew he was a good guy. Both were non-venomous so they continued to live.
I had a fun day just very tired now.
Last task, then we are going to bed. Jennifer and Kevin are sleeping now. They worked hard too!
Will walk down to the hunting property shortly, dump a magazine into the woodpile - coyotes are back in numbers. I won't see any for a few weeks after I make all that loud racket down there.
Then bedtime! YAY BEDTIME! *laughing*
