Yard work
I need to clean out this spot. Weeds, blackberry vines and some shrubs have to go.
I started out cutting the blackberry vines and then the weeds. I thought a bit of water might help get the shrubs out so I put the water on them to soften up the ground a bit.
Metal rack work
While the water was doing it’s work, I went back to work on the metal rack construction. Sure is nice to have this metal chop saw as it works real good and speeds the work up a lot.
I needed to cut the metal for the shelves so I worked on that for a bit.
Shrubs out
When the water had softened up the ground a bit I used the shovel to dig the shrubs up and got them out of the way.
With the ground all wet, the chickens really like that and got in to help me out.
Naked ladies
I dug up these bulbs and later realized they were Naked Pink Ladies. I’m giving them to my neighbor.
Chickens
Watching this chicken, you’d think she was dying.
But no, just a good old dust bath.
Welding up
I had to weld up some of the shelves as I’m using scrap material and some of it was a bit short. Then I used the grinder to smooth off both ends of all the shelf pieces.
Nice day.
