again. Not fun having "foggy" brain.
Have been doing lots of running around. L.Brother/wife are big into
garage sales and what deals we have found!! He has been scoffing tools
and I have been searching for items for the motor home and things in
general. The one biggy that he scored on and I had to pay store price
for…a gas grill! As I have invited people for a BBQ get together at the
end of
July a grill is needed, so I bought one. Two days later an ad for a tag
sale said brand new gas grill. He bought the next model up from mine for
$40, brand new, had to be assembled!! Mine’s staying in the box to see
if I can find a deal too! Found a great square deep cooler for $10! Am
finding most everything thing is for sale, just ask.
The undergrowth, plants, and particularly the soil is so different that
cutting down undergrowth with a machete or ax is not possible. I tried!
Power tools are necessary. My big purchase (from a store, no garage
sale deal) was a brush cutter to start cutting trails into the property. I did however get my 10% military discount…..Yayyy! Below are pictures of
the dreaded Devil's Club plant. This plant is about waist high and just
covered with sharp thornes as thin as what we call nettles. Once in your
skin, they itch like heck and fester. Fun and they are everywhere!
Things work a tad different here, message has been relayed to Jessie regarding
hiring him to finding the property pins. …Jessie did the surveying of all the
properties around here years ago. He retired but….is still working full time!
Once the pins are authenticated Joey will push dirt around for me, driveway
and clearing. So hard to see where and how the house should be situated on
the property until it is somewhat cleared. My sense of direction and internal
compass is off up here! Glad I have a good compass with me as I am about 30
degrees off. Which is a lot when your out in the middle of the trees up here!
