Neighbor Blake

 

Neighbor Blake brought his skid steer out to my property, Phil put the drain tiles into the back of Jormungandr, and they met at the mucky draw this afternoon.  This is the same spot I got stuck with the lawn mower last month.  Blake hollowed out the area a bit lower and Phil laid the three drain tiles into the draw.  Blake went up to higher ground and dug out sod to place over the tiles.  It will protect them from crushing, hold them in place, and make the draw a bit higher.  Phil ran over it a few times w/ Jormungandr to tamp down the dirt and ... we will see.    With any luck they will stay free enough of muck to allow the runoff from the woods go through on it's way down to the creek.  (Only caveat is it may not be strong enough to handle anything heavier than Jormungandr driving over it.)   If this plan doesn't work,  I haven't invested much.  The whole thing was paid for w/ Menards rebate checks I've been collecting for years.   About time I used them.
