  1. Had a decent sleep last night after a long day. Got up before 6AM so that I could start the sprinklers on time.

    (We are allowed 6-9AM/PM alternating days but I only water in the mornings because watering when it is still 32°C at 8PM is dumb)

    While they were going I got going on another dirt-moving session. Over 3 hours! The sun was blocked by clouds for much of it so that helped a lot. Managed to get the space cleared for the 2nd shed. The whole back part of the yard is nearly level. It’s amazing just how much lower one side of the yard was from the other!

    Another couple days of moving dirt and leveling and the dirt mountain should be spent!

    Lunch and naptime. 2000 calories burned 😝 💪

    Started to feel some pains in hands, thumb, back. Body knows… so I stopped :)

  3. Cleaned up my mess from hurriedly closing the pit. As you can see from the nice mud lake, the rain did come yesterday.

    Quite proud of my work with the grading bucket here. I scraped the dirt off without harming the grass underneath. You don't know how difficult that is until you try :)

    Put it into two heaps on either end so I can drive sand and cement down the middle, then built supports and hauled in the pouring platform (not depicted here).

    Basically ready to pour, but of course the forecast says rain for several days ahead 😤

  5. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Boning Up

    The old archeologist Bert
    Was feeble but rather alert
    He said “It’s no toss-up”
    “I never could gossip”
    “I have bones about digging up dirt”

  7. Hmm, could use some kind of dumper right about now 😅

    Also some new wheels and tyres for this thing. Those are really hard to find (at a non-ridiculous price, that is).

    Anyone got some Simson moped wheels laying around they don't need?

  8. Kevini's Limerick of the Day

    Doing Dirty

    A gossip columnist longs
    For dirt to sing sad songs
    She says what she does
    Is OK because
    She’s writing another one’s wrongs
