As some may remember, last Saturday we started digging out a pad for a second driveway, we also were working on our fence.

Well this Saturday we worked on them some more!

My father in law brought over his little tractor and finished digging it out, compared to last week (digging by hand), this was WAY better. We only had to dig it once - by that I mean he dug it up and dumped it in his truck and we went and emptied it, instead of digging it up and then dumping it out (digging it twice).

Then we finished up the gate, got an extra 2×4 on the edge of one of the doors (did I mention we somehow ended up with some extra space?). My father in law also helped design a door stop for the left side door. It was just a tube driven in the ground, a piece of rebar held to the door so you basically pull it up and the door will swing open. Pretty neat. We also got the hardware back on the door too.

Now we just need to get the sealant on the fence.

Now to the last piece, I finally finished up with lawnmower and got it up and running, so I spent about 15 minutes mowing the lawn (my rolling .11 acres). But realized that my backyard is getting to be more and more crabgrass. I’m gonna need to get something to get rid of that crap!

Oh well that was my Saturday - day…
