We've decided to place a new run-in shed behind the landscaping bins, making it easier to install water and electric to the new pasture(s). My bright idea was to get a shed-row style barn with an overhang that could then serve as a run-in shed. Easier said than done, right?
The previous owners dumped (a lot) rocks behind the bins.
Along with skids of blocks, all kinds of blocks; bricks, cinder blocks, landscaping stones, granite chunks, wet (now hard) concrete, etc. I've spent time digging these piles out from behind the bins. Overrun with blackberries, honeysuckle and vines, some rocks were too big for me to move.
Some of the skids had rotted and collapsed, leaving bricks and cinder blocks strewn across the area. Our next step will be to dump the 'good' rocks in the swampy alley through the PEPCO right-of-way. We don't want to drain the swamp, just want to be able to move through it without getting stuck.
He spent considerable time trimming trees and dead limbs out of the area, too, creating a new pile that needs to be moved to the burn pile.
To top all of that off, we've moved from April to July in a couple of days. Now it is HOT with highs in the 80s.
