just "did" my whole property for the first time ever

[chad]

been reclaiming it from nature for 2 years now.

started mowing and weed wacking at 6 am until just now (3:42 cst). looks like a golf course. whole shebang that i worked on is about 6 acres, rest we're leaving heavy timber.

incredible waste of gas, time, etc. but i wanted to do it just once. going to sit outside tonight, look at it, and drink canadian windsor.

have a good weekend all. :D

there is a certain satisfaction to doing your own yard work on your own property...

along with exhaustion, but well worth it, I agree.

You can own property? Where?

Sweet! I've got 45 acres to deal with but when it all looks nice the view can be rewarding. I get a lot of satisfaction from mowing. Gives me meditation time.

Wow. That's beautiful there.

Do you guys have those riding mowers, the kind you drive? That always looked like fun to me. If I had a lot of acreage, I'd get one of those.

Hope you don't mind Goatman, but that is just too beautiful not to re-post bigger...

hope you have some type of night vision mick, if you don't, try and get something, I picked some up a year ago, it's incredible, you absolutely can't hide from it at night, even without a Moon, I can tell you the sex of an individual several hundred feet away ;)

Good for you Chad!


Pics? (So i can be jealous)

[Libertytree]

Wow Goatman! That looks like Ky horse country with those type of fences and landscape.

i've been trying to take care of my 2 acres with no power tools. 6 acres would take me a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

i got a scythe. dang, when they are sharp, they are sharp. i cut myself sharpening it.

i wear heavy boots and try not to whack my foot with the thing when i'm cutting long-grass with it.


sounds like a Mission Accomplished moment. if you got it all weed whacked down that should reduce your fire danger. that's worth gas & time for sure.

Dark now, pics forthcoming tommorow evening.

[Goatman]

Thanks, Liberty. It's Virginia. That pic was the back 40. Here's the front yard with two five acre horse fields. If you look closely you can see one of the hayburners. Don't know how to make the pics larger.
