Working On Bulkheads and Getting a Load of Rocks From Up In the Hills

Bulkhead work

i decided to put a piece of metal sheeting in the bulkhead as I don’t  have enough rocks to fill it nearby. I cut it to length and put a few holes in it to wire it up.metal1

I installed the panel and used a few wires to hold it to the fence.bulkhead2

I brought the chainsaw down to cut this redwood limb up to size to put in the bulkhead along with some other limbs to help hold the metal sheet in and to fill up space.limb3

You can see where I stuffed some limbs in there behind the metal sheet.limbs4

A mumble, jumble of sticks.limbs5

And I added some rocks from the creek and will add a few more, eventually, but that’s enough for one day, eh.rocks6

Bike ride in the forest

I hopped on the dirt bike and went for a ride up into the forest, mostly because I wanted to talk with my cousin, but they weren’t home, so I just rode around and stopped  here at our memorial for a bit.bike7

Back home for a nap and something to eat.

Skiddy gets rocks

A bit later, I took Skiddy up into the hills to retrieve a load of rocks for a bulkhead that needs it.skiddy8

I picked up the rock and am headed back to my place to dump the rock in the bulkhead. The trick is not to  lose all of the rocks out of the bucket on the way.rock9

The rock got dumped in this bulkhead. I think it needs at least one more load to finish this project off.rocked10

I took it easy around the yard for the rest of the day.

Nice day.

Doing Some Chores Around the House

Friday October 25, 2024 Guerneville CA.

Roof

I found my push broom and got the ladder out and went up on my roof to sweep it off. Lots of redwood debris falls out of the big redwood trees this time of year. The wood came from another redwood tree in the yard and is made of the trees big limbs.wood1

This is what I sweep off the roof. My wheelbarrow is in the creek so this will  have to wait to get cleaned up when I get the wheelbarrow out of the creek. It makes nice mulch.redwood2

Creek

After that, I went down in the creek to collect some rocks for the bulkhead behind there. The water washed all my rocks out of this area last winter during a big storm. I need to fill the area back up with rocks or something. I’m thinking a sheet of metal might help in this spot so I went up and cut a piece for putting in later as I was tired of that job and needed something easier to do.rocks3

Skiddy

I needed some other rocks for another bulkhead, so rode Skiddy up into the hills to the rock slide area and got a load. Round trip takes about an hour.skiddy4

I dumped the load in this area, another bulkhead. Looks like I could use a few more loads.bulkheadrocks5

The rest of the day I napped and took it easy.

Nice day.
