We are clearing out what was once know as the "Garden" area for what we are making the "Kids Adventure Area!"
The kids friends love helping out with our jobs! I'm not sure how safe our jobs are!
The jobs make them feel more "manly!" Trees need to go for the underground trampoline!
Kenny is getting pretty handy with the chain saw!
Our burn piles keep growing.
Kelly thinks we are making the burn piles too big...he's probably right, but we won't tell him that!
Drew and the dog enjoying the fire.
Not only where there several trees that needed to be removed for out outdoor adventure area, but also piles of...crap...that has been accumulating over the last 40+ years. I loaded up several truckloads of junk, with the help of Kelly and we took it to my friend Brandy's house. Their neighborhood was having a yearly dump day, where you could put anything on the curb and the trash men will take it for free!!
Riding in the truck always makes for an adventure! Kelly, who has parkinsons disease, and who probably shouldn't be driving, was a champ at maneuvering the tight steering wheel and faulty brakes!
Brandy had no clue how much stuff we were bringing over and was awesome about letting us make her front yard look like a dump! Kenny's old swing set was in that pile. Surprisingly, a few men came at night and took all the wire, before the trash man came. One mans junk is another mans treasure!
With trees cut back and trash taken away, we can now cut the grass that we will be growing next spring! Little by little we will make this place our own!
