I will say you've been busy.

Daaaaang Kyle that looks amazing! So much better than dirt and weeds when I saw it.

Looks really great! Might even have enough mulch to attract Square D to give those beds a go!

Lot's of great looking work.

Dang Dawg! You've been busy. Looks great Kyle, and still thinking ahead with the extras for later saves a lot of work later on. Good stuff!

Figures since all the landscape tools were scattered about I'd build a wall hanger deal to get em up off the ground. Into it about 20 bucks at the orange box. Couple 10' sticks and some 94 cent hangers, and a hand full of 10 penny headless nails

Well, I'll say this. If the zombie hordes ever approach and you start killing them all I think you have plenty of shovels to bury them with!

I understand, definitely not my favorite tool most likely because I get stuck using one more often than I care to admit. Well organized for the $20 you spent.

THAT looks really nice! Congrats! Amazing how places can go from Construction/BombWentOff to beautifully finished so quickly (but I get it doesn't "feel" like its quick when you're there every day! ::)) Nice job!!

With the exception of the bike. I need to thank you. I copied the tool storage this past weekend. Saved a lot of room. No flimsy gimmick junk hanging sliding system from the orange box store

Well, time for another update

Grass is growin

Also borrowed my grampas Deere to spread some gravel and grade the back section of our property

Also tapped into the mainline from the irrigation system and put a spigot way out back so I don't have to drag hoses back there when I'm burning, etc. also stubbed off for future veggie garden

Got 45 yards of dirt coming for the back back, then going to sling some grass seed on it and call it good for the summer. Ultimately a bunch of trees will go in back there, fire pit, garden, orchard, etc

45 yards, you need sarge!!

Looks good.

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #272 on:** June 07, 2016, 12:53:20 AM »

Sarge would be a bit overkill. Just spent all weekend knocking down the high spots from the last dozer that was back there. Little box blade on the Deer did the trick

I second the thumbs up on the Quick Curb... Very clean look and no weed wacking.. just drive the mower over it.

Very nice!

That your ground that's getting logged currently?

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #279 on:** June 07, 2016, 04:29:24 PM »

No those are the neighboring lots, and that was logged earlier this spring. Just the best pic I had of the shop foundation. I've got 15' setback from the edge of the shop to the property line.

That's another 2 acres down there, wish it were mine!

Did you use any type of contractor glue on your stone wall?

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #284 on:** June 12, 2016, 02:07:22 PM »

On the caps, yes. Still have a small section to complete actually. But the ones I glued are solid as a rock

This weekends project. The back section...

45 yards of screened topsoil delivered

Spread in mounds with the Deere

Started raking out.

The plan is to rake it out, drag it out with a gate drag I made, throw grass seed down, roll it, and call it good. I put the top soil down basically to cover the millions of surface rocks. I picked up the big ones, but there's no way I could pick them all up.

Eventually we'll have cedars, vine maples, and fruit trees back there, but for now I just wanted to get grass down so I could mow it. Was spraying weeds all the time, and it looked like crap, so grass will spruce it up while phase 2b of landscaping is on hold.

Yeah I'm tryin, but my back is tellin me otherwise, bout 2/3 done spreading the piles. I dragged part of it already and am happy with how it works. Really trying to get grass seed down to take advantage of the next 2 days rain

Why not use the tractor to level it out Kyle? just curious......I don't do any more backache work than I have to with a machine sitting near me.

...oh, and looks more awesome each time you post !

Dawg25385 · « **Reply #289 on:** June 12, 2016, 05:11:02 PM »

Well, the truth is I'm not that proficient on it yet. I tried a little, and I just couldn't gauge depth real well and was bringing rocks back up. And the box blade isn't adjusted right and I don't want to monkey with it since it's where grampa likes it apparently

Not like I don't need the exercise either lol. Got some help from the better half for a bit too

Ok Ken, thanks for the suggestion. Got back on the tractor to spread out the piles before I rake it. Just took my time and where dirt was thicker I used the box blade, where thinner I back bladed with the bucket.
