Almost ready for the shed

Got most of the vines and cutting out of the area for the shed. Still have one more tree limb on the oak tree to cut. I took most of the cuttings with leaves down to Jody's ranch at the bottom of the hill and filled in the gullys. The goat herd finally came up to check it out. They were really excited by all the green leaves, though Bettima seemed as enamoured with nice branches to scratch her head between the horns. It was dessert as they had just eaten.
moved everything to piles for recycling and then moved them again for the backhoe. We got 4 loads of fill from in front of Chris's house. Its spread so I have a 24foot pad for the twenty foot shed. There is even a pad on the side for a rainwater tank. [the shed will have as much roof space as the second floor but will be much easier to put on raingutters. My goal is to eventually have a fully automated drip garden eventually. I have a planter on the deck doing with a Dutch cotton wick and nothing else. I will put a similar wick in the front rainbarrel planter as soon as I find enough rags to make a wick that will cover floor of the planter and then hang down into the water in the tank. anyway its late and will get finishing up in the morning. The bill for 1 hour of backhoe and 4 loads of fill was 120$ not bad for a combined deal with me Chris and Robert. A special thanks to Edward and his son for all their work.
