Day Six! Thanks George!

Drainage/Electrical/Moat Project-Day #6

Day #6 was about cleaning up some of the many pieces of this multi-part project.

Cory once again went immediately to work and starting removing the tree stumps Tim and I left on Quail Way   after cutting down those two large trees.  Once the stumps were removed, Cory then graded and leveled Quail Way  out.  The road still has a long way to go before becoming "clean" again but it's a start.  Smaller roots still need to be cut out and gravel spread but that's a project for another day.

     After Quail Way, Cory went to the front of the house site and pushed off and cleaned up the rock and debris leftover from a drainage project of two weeks ago.  That project tied the house down spouts into a master drain pipe and runs all the water off into the woods.  This will help the grass on the front lawn from getting washed out as it had started to be.

     Moving right along, Cory went and cleaned.up and removed the pile.of tree stumps down along the property line along with grading the area for future mowing.

     After all that, with the temperature dropping and the winds starting to blow, we started on the last of two items on the list of this "last infrastructure project".  Moving Irrigation lines to the outside of the garden beds.  Once again, Cory ran my tail into the ground.  Several times he had to wait on me to cut and glue pipe together before he could proceed.  But.....the cold finally got to Cory. (Not me!!!)  He was frozen and stopped work early for the day.  After Cory left, it allowed me to pre-make all the irrigation lines for the last bed we need to do.  Once Cory digs the trenches, all that needs to be done is to drop in the pre-made unit.  I will be waiting on Cory!!!   That's a change.

    Cory will start the last item on the list this morning by himself as I have to spend the morning subbing on my wife's bowling team since she is still sun bathing on the beach in warm and sunny Florida.

An editor's note: one again the writer got a little dillusional about sun bathing in Florida!  The cold must be getting to him! It was sunny in Florida but the winds were blowing at about 25 mph!
