    not sure of the roll you speak of mrfancyplants but you may be able to buy clear polyethelene plastic. Comes in different widths and guages. I used to buy 100' long rolls for work, but its been many years and not sure what they carry now. The clear is less offensive to the eyes.

I was about out of time for mother’s day dinner w the wife anyways. I keep saying “one more trip, almost done.

    Yeah there's a lot of dirt in those bad boys. I can see the saw dust is like fine powder so I can imagine it was rough going.

    C4009506-7C77-4760-82CA-10C9A5F799F6.jpeg Finally finished up this job. I’m not sure if I would do it again knowing what I know now, but at the same time, I’m glad I did because of how much I learned.
    Dump diving is just so much easier and less mess for me, but i’m Also glad to be set with wood for cooking ribs and salmon etc. for the foreseeable future.

    Ill bet you're glad to have that done. Yes, experience is an excellent teacher. I guess i like the dump for the "i never know what ill find" when i go there. Ill be going for more dirt tomorrow...stay tuned!

    We have 4 flowering Plum trees across the street in front of a unfinished house. They are a lot smaller than yours, but, they are pretty beat up, cracked,rotten in spots, and hollow spots in about every one of them, they are all broken down. I thought this last winter with all the snow we got, a couple of them would fall apart from the weight of the snow, then i could cut them down, and get rid of them. No suck luck this year. I'd LOVE to cut them down. They are in really , really bad shape. Maybe this coming fall we'll get another good snow, and i can get a 2nd chance at them!!
