I got a number of things that I need to do around the place. Aside from all the truck work, I have a lot of grading and cleaning up to do. So today I decided to finally get all the dirt moved from behind the shop. I didn't get a good before picture, but I grabbed a early in process pic.
You can see where I've been working already.
This trash was what I had been avoiding. When I got into it. I realized that they basically threw all their trash, cut waste, insulation, waste metal, broken nail gun, everything back there.
It was way more than I realized and had I known, I wouldn't have paid them out until they cleaned it up. I built up the south end more and then when I got to the trash, I took it up to my backstop and dumped it behind it and covered it with dirt. I'll have to grab a picture of it tomorrow. It is currently close to 8' tall and probably 12'-15' deep.
And after 6 hours on the tractor I have a nice graded area that makes getting in and out much easier.
I still have a small pile to haul off/ level out to be done with all of it, but it is finally cleaned up.
Now I need to get a load of stone to spread under the lean-to and get some gutters on the shop.
Since I spent all day playing real life Tonka trucks, tomorrow i will get back to work on the 80.
