![](images/2013/17july2x.jpg) Nate dug out 5 boulders from Dean & Nancy's yard and they are mine now. |
![](images/2013/17july8x.jpg) No amount of flooding will wash these boulders away! |
![](images/2013/17july3x.jpg) The bank will be built up with more boulders like these--eventually. |
![](images/2013/17july12x.jpg) Digging out the frog pond. |
The slab is done--curing too fast in this heat so Glenn recommended I water it down a few times a day. I have 6 full buckets standing by.
I ordered a Simer 2305 Geyser II 1/4 HP Submersible Utility Pump today. $54.36 from Amazon, free shipping.
I am in need of old carpeting to use as a protective liner under my pond liner.
Ed gave me a 6x10 piece--need quite a bit more. |
Nate finished with the excavator and drove it off. He came back with the skid steer to finish up. Before he took the excavator away he dug my frog pond, dug out Deans' boulders, broke up a piece of ledge at the corner of my property where I could never mow, tore out the maple stump and dug a hole for the redbud I need to plant on the south side of the house. Lots of stuff happened today. |
