CONSTRUCTION TIME..... BORING TOPIC??? ... BUT YOU ALL WANTED THE STATS......
THISIS TRUE !!
Wow Carlene, you lucked out being able to get such a professional company to work on your drainage situation. After looking at Masterson's website, They're top-notch. Goldie triumphs again! HAVE A GOOGLE LOOK.... MASTERSONS.....
THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE. -- THESE GUYS ARE ARTISTS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT..--PEOPLE WHO DONT WATCH MAY NOT REALIZE... IT TAKES GREAT TALENT TO CARVE HILLSIDES-- AND COURAGE... NO WAY COULD I SIT AT TEH ODD ANGLE AND SWING 20 TONS OF BOOM AROUND IN CIRCLES...
STANDING AROUND AT COFFEE BREAK I TALKED WITH THE 2 MAIN OPERATORS ABOUT MIKE ROWE-- AND ONE SAID HIS SON- AGED 16 COULD NOT USE HIS HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.... HE HONESTLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO FOR A LIVING... BECAUSE IN A FEW MORE YEARS.....HIRING A PLUMBER WILL COST $500 AN HOUR AND A DOCTOR WILL TAKE YOUR TONSILS OUT FOR $29.95... ON THURSDAYS...
AS A PREASENT FOR BEING SO KIND --- I OFFERED MASTERSON A FULL TRUCK OF DIRT-- THEY WERE THRILLED-- WE HAVE SUPER DIRT HERE... AND I KNOW WHAT THAT TRUCKLOAD WAS WORTH.... BUT I ALSO KNOW TH EEFFORT I WOULD HAVE HAD TO MAKE IF THEY DIDN'T DO SUCH AN EXTRA JOB WITY ALL THAT TOPSIOL. THE SIZE AND STREGNTH OF THOSE MACHINES IS BEYOND.... THEY HAD SOME EXTRA CRUSHED STONE AND "WHY DON'T WE JUST SPREAD IT IN. THE PARKING ROMP AND MAKE A PILE THRERE TO USE.... 15 MINUTES LATER THAT WAS DONE. AND THE WHOLE "SAND RING " AREA BY THE T TENT /BARN. ALL HAS A NEW SUSRFACE OF STONE DUST.... GLASS SMOOTH...
GIVEN ABOUT 4 HOURS THEY COULD DIG A HOLE AND PUT MY ENTIRE YELLOW SHOP BUILDING IN IT... COVER IT... AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT EXISTED... WE TALKED ABOU THTAT W/R/T HAVING BUILDING PERMITS OR NOT-- THAT SHOP WAS ONCE "RON'S WORLD". WHERE HE TOOK A RACE CAR ALL APART DOWN TO THE PIPE FRAME--- PUT IT BACK TOGETHER-- AND RACED IT.....--- IT ALSO HAS A VERY THICK CONCREETE FLOOR BECAUSE IT IS WHERE HE AND I FOUND OUT WHEN YOU ORDER 3 YARDS OF CONCERTE, YOU TAKE 3 YARDS OF CONCRETE WHETHER YOU WANTED THAT OR NOT... I CAN STILL SEE RON WADING AROUND IN CONCRETE WELL OVER ANKLE HIGH...
THE PUDDLE IS NO MORE..... TEH BASIC CONFIGURATION WAS......... THERE WAS A "HUMP" JUST ABOUT THE END OF THE BARN...-- SO LAST MAJOR BULLDOZING MANAGED TO AIM ALL THE RUNOFF FROM BARN AND ARENA AROUND TEH END OF THE ARENA AND INTO THE AREA BY THE PARKING PIT...
THE REST RAN TO THE MANURE PILE/ DUMPSTER.... AND SAT THERE---- BECAUSE OF TEH SLIGHT HUMP BEHIND TEH ICU BUILDING... SO TEHY RAISED TEH GROUND LEVEL ABOUT 18" UP IN TEH VERY GROSS PUDDLE AREA AND PITCHED IT TO GROUND LEVEL JUST BEYOND TEH ICU BUILDING-- THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE DONKEY CAMEERA...
GIVING US A HUGE QUANTITY OF "TOP SOIL" MADE WITH THE POINTY HOIVES OF THE DONKEYS ANAD HORSES CHURNING IN THEIR MANURE AND WATER..
THAT IS ALL SMEARED ON TEH HILL--- AND YES... I KNOW IT WILL TEND TO SLIDE-- I HOPE TO GET A BUNCH OF TEH SPLIT RAIL 10' RAILS LINED ACROSS THAT AREA..... ON WHICH I HAVE SPREAD GRASS SEED. ( RYE SEED.. FAST GROWING ONLY ONCE-- AND WILL ADD EXSSEX #2. NORMAL THAT COMES UP YEARLY.)
TEH OVERALL PLAN IS TO PUT WILDFLOWERS ALONG TEH SPLIT RAILS AND STILL BE ABLE TO CUTT ANY GRASS THAT MIGHT GROW...
ALL THAT MEANS I WILL HAVE TO RUN A FENCE ACROSS THE LINE OF BOULDERS WHERE TH DONKEY USUALLY CROSSED TO HAVE THEM COME DOWN TOTHE CAFE FOR HAY AND A DRINK..... I CAN NOT LET TEHM WALK ALL OVER THAT HILLSIDE OR IT WILL LOOK AS BAD AS BEFORE.SO THERE IS SOME WATER CARRYING TO BE DONE TIL THE FENCE IS UP AS THEY CAN NOT REACH TEH "TUB" GOATS HAE BEEN REPOSITIONED TO THE "TANNERS BUILDING .. OUT BEHIND TEH AREAN... ALSO A WATER CARRYING AREA.
----
SOME FENCING -- FROM DEERBUSTERS DID ARRIVE-- THE 4' FOR AROUND TH E. POND... AND TEH 3' FOR THE PUPPY AREA BY THE T TENT. SO I DUG ONE HOLE TO CELEBRATE.. THE LARGE MALE CONTINGENT IS DUE HERE 7 AM ON MONDAY... IT THEY BRING ENOUGH FRIENDS I WILL NOT HAVE TO GO TO HOME DEPOT AT 6 AM... (WHICH IS THE OTHER OPTION)
I EXPECT ANOTHE R. FENCE SHIPMENT FROM FARMTEK. WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PIECES...
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE... DO NOT EXPECT MIRACLES IN A WEEK... WE ARE TALKING MONTHS BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE DOG RUNS IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.......
