Cleanup

The Circuit Court providing several dumpsters around the county has been working great. The one they placed about 1/2 mile from our house has been filled twice. We added a bunch of junk to it ourselves. I've even hauled an old coke machine down there and dumped it for one of our neighbors.
I have been using a saws-all to cut the old shed we knocked down into small pieces and putting those pieces on the trailer behind the Mule. Then I have hauled those pieces across the road to the fire pit and burnt them. I have kept the fire going for three days without having to restart it, I just threw pieces on the ashes and it started burning again. Linda mowed behind the house trailer while I was cutting and picking up the shed pieces. She burnt the last pieces of the shed while I used the scoop on the tractor to scrape the ground into piles of dirt. I tried to scrape the nails and pieces of debris into those piles too. Then I scooped up the dirt piles and dumped them in the ditch as fill dirt. I'm hoping the dirt will pack down and not be washed away when we get hard rains, but either way the nails and debris will be away from the hay shed. Hopefully this will let me avoid flat tires. I picked up a tractor scoop of creek gravel and spread it where the shed was located as the area looked a little low.
