I worked 10 hours on Monday, most of it on a rake. I was too tired to get on here last night. I got 3 hours today before the rains hit again. I've got about a day and a half to go before the last house is done. I really need a good clearing and basement job.

I prefer to venison fajitas.. but then again, with fajitas, you can use just about anything. got an extra squirrel in the freezer? a few dove breasts left over? it doesn't matter, just slice it thin and slap it in a hot skillet with some red, yellar, and green onions, green and red bell peppers, dice a few fresh jalapenos, and a splash salt, black and cayenne pepper.
btw, if you have a gas stove, put the burner on low and just ever so lightly toast the tortillas.

Seen that used for ball field maintenance. We were grading/fine tuning a "garden area" on the front of a house. We had to pull strings to establish the grade. The topsoil had to be one inch lower than the paving stones so we could add an inch of a special pea gravel and the final grade would be flush with the top of the pavers. The paving stones came from Italy, all high end stuff. It looked good when we finished but it was a royal pain. I'll take some pics the next time I'm there.

No need to roll it. The soil is only 6-8 inches deep. We put the bulk of it in a couple weeks ago. It's probably rained at least 6 inches since then. This was just the final tweak and the gravel cap.
