I am currently building a retainer wall for a friend and have been too tired by the time I get back home to even think of anything funny. The retainer wall is to keep dirt from migrating down a hill side against a wooden privacy fence. This involves moving about 40 cubic yards of rock and dirt, constructing a 4 ton retainer wall laying down about 4 tons of cobble stones and then fixing the fence.
Currently it is 36 degrees and looks like snow is coming in and am not looking forward to moving all those big rocks today but if I don't do it, it won't get done by it's self.
Funny thing in doing stuff like this is when you start digging in someone else's yard you can come up with the darnedest things buried. Yesterday I uncovered a 16 foot long, 12 inch by 4 inch timber next to the fence. That thing has to weigh at least 150-200 pounds and the only way I can move it is to cut it in half.
Time to head out so until later.
