today while its still cool out, I'm going out to clean up my back yard. trees need triming the bank along the water needs cut down trimed etc.. dodging gators and snakes is my plan for the next few hours.

also not sliping while using the chain saw and having a nasty accident.

why tell you all this? well i know some of you will enjoy the thought of that possibility.

Careful.

My cousin was years ago out cutting some trees down with his chainsaw, slipped somehow and the blade went right into his knee. Left a very hasty scar there, about 7-8 inchs long and 2 inches wide.

Everytime I see "chainsaw", I'm reminded of the scene in Dawn of The Dead when the old guy slips up, embedding a running chainsaw in that young bimbo slut.

I love that scene.

Um, if you have the chainsaw, why be afraid of the snakes and gators?

I don't think most people can intervene a snake strike with a chainsaw, but maybe Somthor is the man for the job

if you look you will see i trimmed the trees and stripped some of them. i got most the back done i still need to do the sides. there is a 15ft easement on either side


the strips of dirt you see are from the sprinkler system i installed today so easy with a ditch witch. cuts the trench for you .

What exactly is the shell for?

posted 05-10-2004 06:37:58 PM
its fill really. you see i decided to clean up my back yard, then when it was clean and you could see the streem back there i thought hey under those oaks would be a nice picnic area but the ground was un even and well sooner or latter it would look all wild again like acrross the bank so i thought i gotta fill it in with somthing to make it flat might as well be shell.

from that point i needed to make a retaining wall to hold the shell back from the edge and falling into the water. the project jsut got kinda more than i had ment to do

i have about 2,500.00 in materials and other charges now. I still need to finish cleaning the trees.

im exhasted and the two buddies of mine who came to help are exhausted as well

OK, I was confused and thought it might be to keep the water from flooding into your yard.
