Backyard Demo

So we have a family of pyromaniacs!

We began the clearing of the acre backyard by cutting down the scrub trees and bushes.  Piled high with clipping from the front yard, including two good sized pine trees that were poorly planted, we set to burning it all the last official burn day for our area.

Glen used his chain saw, the kids hauled, and I added to the pile and played fire fighter by keeping it under control with the water hose.

Of course if I didn't keep a close eye on the crazy man he would keeping adding brush until I feared we would melt our neighbors fence.  Add to the blaze our crazy wind and you have an insane adrenaline high!

After the madness we hired someone to clear the grass and nonburnable junk, then level the land.

Now we have a clean slate!  The fence comes this week, then some concrete work.  My favorite, the orchard and garden area.  That and some additional trees around the perimeter will about cover this years projects!

Fun, fun!  The good times just keep on rolling!  If anyone has the desire to dig some holes, feel free to volunteer here!
