This is the new wheels on the tractor and my banty a darn good reason for the tractor.
You go for it Tonya want it done right do it ourselves!

 

[Sally PB]

You want something done, do it yourself.

Yes!

I wanted to put 8' T-posts in. I found something I could lean them on, with the pounder slid over the top. Then I got on my (very handy) scrap wood step stool and pounded them in. Sure would have been easier with a helper, but no one was available. As in, DH had another project going on.

The patch I did on the damaged coop roof held. The room was dry when I went out to finish getting the tree off. That thing was HEAVY. Once it broke I got under it near the roof line, got it on my shoulder then walked out over to where it is and dropped it.
The chickens were in the coop when the trunk finally broke and hit the ground and they went into a full blown uproar for about 10 minutes.

I took the fence down almost to the end of that side and weed wacked before putting it back.
I'll let my friend's husband know that all he needs to do is cut it into pieces so I can get it over to the burn pile. The important part is over.

You go, DL! What kind of wood is it?

He didn't help you get it off the roof?

 

[DobieLover]

He didn't help you get it off the roof?

No. He didn't do ANYTHING he said he would. Useless.

 

[DobieLover]

You go, DL! What kind of wood is it?

Crap.
Poplar.

 

[Sally PB]

We call poplar "gopher wood." (As in it burns fast and you need to gopher wood for the wood stove.) Elm is only slightly better.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I'm getting DH today to do some shopping and then I'll spend time cleaning the house and taking it a little easier than hauling trees around.

DH had a few accidents on his vacation with his kids and came home with Depends. I'm pretty sure they won't ask for him to come visit again.
I almost had two accidents with him the last time I took him on a 5 hour round trip drive into PA because he doesn't let you know he needs to use the bathroom until it's almost too late. So I've asked the caregiver to put one on him before I pick him up this morning regardless that we are shopping local. One of the items we are shopping for are easy to remove pants. Which will likely end up being sweat pants but I'm going to look for something a little less "casual" looking.
