A few little things add up to a lot. As we leave our drought season and enter our usually wet winter, some much-needed attention needs to be paid to the parking area of the driveway. Concrete washout is my next most excellent find. This stuff is relatively inexpensive and GREAT for driveway base material. I
think so, anyway. We don't have any major slopes to worry about washing away. It packs like clay but isn't tacky like clay is. The only downside I've found is it is pretty dusty in the dry months. But when it's topped with gravel, the dust is reduced.
We chipped some more of the downed pines and cleaned that area up a bit. I have a
feeling this type of work will be sprinkled in a few days per week for the foreseeable future.
My daughter is getting more adventurous with the tractor. She's very comfortable driving so I introduced some bucket work this week. An easy task of scooping up woodchips and taking them a few hundred feet away. She didn't get to the point of
100% on her own but she did quite well. And by letting her record me working I realized she has some excitement in that area as well :) Potential film maker in the future?!
You may have noticed the start of the shop build. Day 1 of the shop build was the same day of TK running the tractor. I'll cover that in the next
video.
