Went down there yesterday with the thought that I'd stay the night, then wake and do it again all day Saturday
But in early morn, came the pitter patter of rain drops on my tin roof.

Anyway, the objective was to knock out the deck around the Privy, get that backfilled, mulched, and graveled. The fuel tank is going in adjacent, so that was all going to happen as well...Oh, Well...

I started with this, and a hole 3/4 filled with rain water!

I'll put a sump pump in there and pump out the water, not really worried about that at the moment

First I rammed a log into the bed mud, like bedrock, but gooier. Then fastened that to the frame to give some more foundation.

Then the backside...

Because of my late start, I decided to throw in the claw hammer at around 1900 and finish in the morrow (That got rained out). Next up would have been a covering of tar paper, then deck board along with lining the side with cedar half rounds harvested from the sawmill scrap. I'd backfill the half rounds and lay in cedar mulch from the sawmill as well, plant a few things and call it G-T-G

Have to wait I guess...

Back to building out big things for the shed for now...

You probably already know this but don’t poison them. They die in the most inconvenient locations and then stink up the place for a year or more dead in the wall

Use mechanical means. Sticky traps or other. (No not the Benelli M4, too much collateral damage)

That sucks.
I no longer have my camper due to mouse infestation.
Long, long story, but it is now a write off...

Still have it insured and the tires?

So today I was testing the depth of the mud everywhere farmside, and it was definitely very muddy

I unlocked the gate while Scout circled me and the gate area. That's when I noticed some brown something near a developing burrow that I thought was a groundhog.

I saddled back up and started driving toward the shed, and that's when Scout noticed the brown mass and took off after it. It stood up with its arms outstretched as Scout charged it.

A Coon! And in the daylight...oh no! Coons will pull the eyes out of a dog quick, so without any time, I pulled the 12 gage from the mount, leveled it on the critter and squeezed off five shots with 00 buckshot at about 75 yards. I was hoping for a hail mary, and I got one. One round connected. I saw the coon spin, but stood up and jumped on Scout as they met. Scout threw him about ten feet, and I was hobbling and reloading. The coon paused just long enough for me to level and pull off three fast ones. Down to 30 yards, the buckshot made contact and ended the match.
I didn't like killing the poor coon, but I was not going to risk my dog's health, so the coon had to go bye bye!

First I replaced the tire/wheel on the 4720. I found a super heavy duty 10 ply mining tire for it. The dealership, knowing me, did. They said, "Just try to destroy this one!"

One thing I have noted since taking delivery of the Kubota.

When you get to the Farm, you work on the John Deere,but you use the Kubota to actually work!

The plan today was to move most of those boulders from where I pulled them out of the pond and stack them up on Ranger Wall.

Here it is growing taller with each boulder.

Spud had zero problem lifting even the heaviest of those rocks, and that grapple is so powerful, that it sheared several boulders in half just by squeezing!

After several hours:

The technique is to level and back fill with the dense grade gravel, then wiggle the next stone into place, then back fill again, and so forth until reaching the desired height

These stones would not easily produce an even wall that had some better aesthetics. Rather than go for the look, I am just going for soil retention with a site sourced product. All this is costing me is the price of the fuel and the gravel.

The tracked Kubota definitely tears the place up a bunch more than my tractor used to.

I grabbed the 2720 Deere to haul to the stealership. It's over 10 hours so is no longer reliable. It pops out of 4WD constantly, and when going down hill with the loader full of gravel, suddenly losing the traction you need to keep from bob-sledding has happened WAY too many times

America's very best tractors, these John Deeres!

They look great and really if you use them as intended. on a level lawn carrying perhaps 15 pounds no more than a couple times a month, they will actually last and not break down!

Absolutely!

I hope to use some refinement when I start building from timber that is sawmill produced, though. First will be a retaining wall under the roof beside the camper, but later on, a full deck/porch around the shed

That is some good stone for making things, even better it is free on site!

Heck, my coon was around 20lb and took a few pellets to kill. I hate how they tear up the yard and they are known for carrying rabbies.

Sounds like the kabota has a happy owner. Fix the JD and sell it.

So, back on the never ending punch-out list

First up was spending buld dollars refuelling the machinery. That 100 gallon tank in the back of the Armee trailer extracted $259 from my wallet for one fill-up from the Costco. That in turn got divided amongst the hungry beast of the farm.

Despite my recent addition of a third more pond, the darned thing filled up and ran over again!

So did the smaller one. Runoff cut part of the road away! I made that one 6-8 feet deeper than before...

I'll continue with the digging and widening and adding depth. Next time I will bust the levee between the two when I have pipe in hand, so that I can quickly trench and install the drain before the next water gathering event.

Similarly, the well has around 30 feet of water in it. Need to get that solar pump dropped in and running soon to pump those two 3,000 gallon tanks full.

So, onto the privy (Punch-out list)

First up was site cleanup, and wrapping the thing with heavy roof felt/tar paper.

Then I stacked all the debris in and around the paper to protect it against the dirt that would soon be pressing inward. I feel this "Skirt" will seal the outside up against critter intrusion and escaping of unwanted gasses

Then I cut in the deck board, (Yea, Dave, still using the treated pine...) around the trim
