It was quite blustery yesterday, with chilly temperatures and brisk winds, so Jim stayed inside and worked in the shop. It was not quite as windy today, so in the afternoon, we ventured out to do a little rock wall work.
Jim brought the excavator over and started scraping back the dirt to expose all the rocks.
Before we bought the property and they did some timbering, they just plowed through the existing rock wall and spread it all over. So we're trying to get it back in line...
Moving down the wall...
This is the view from the end of the wall in this area looking back up - you can see how the rocks are just all over the place...
Moving rocks...
Bringing up rocks from beyond the wall...
Jim will bring the Bobcat down and pretty up the edges, but it's starting to take better shape...
You can see all the little scrub trees growing up in the wall area - those have to go, so this counts as the before picture!
It's so easy for Jim to pull the trees out and then later cut the roots off. Plus, then there's no growing back.
Pulling out more trees...
Already looks better, but it was getting chilly and this was our stopping point for the day.
