This channel may have videos about my working in the yard or maybe cooking something on the smoker!
I'm into lots of different things and only recently started making videos too.
Let's see where this goes.....!

Multiday Yard Projects Part 9 OMG More Buttercups
Folks - I hope I learned a lesson with this video. The idea of shooting long real-time segments (of weeding!) thinking I would just edit it using "speed ramps" was tremendously flawed!! This thing started with nearly 3 hours of video!! That's the primary reason it took so long to edit! Secondly, I kinda dreaded working on it!
Ok - the point of this video is to show the completion of the removal of the buttercups and stuff before a) rototilling and b) spreading mulch. That's in the next video.
Also, the next video will have more time lapse - but I'll have to slow some of it down for you to see what's going on!!! (I should plan these better!!)
Thanks for hanging in there as we grow in this new endeavor.

Multiday Yard Projects Part 8 More Buttercups
Переглядів 589 годин тому
A little more in-depth look at the process I use with the "mulch fork" to loosen soil around the roots and much more. There are a couple lines from movies - please comment your guess. (Sorry, no prizes - at this time!) TRIED to save my arm for bowling - didn't fully succeed - as even the demo of the process was more involved than I thought it would be. Still - all my game scores were above my a...
Multiday Yard Projects Day 7 Remove Buttercups
Переглядів 42День тому
Ok - maybe not the most exciting title or subject - but wanted to cover it anyway! The "potato rake" made quick work of loosening up the plants made even easier when they were in the mulch we've been spreading over our yard for the last few years. That was actually the plan - weeds in the mulch would be far easier to pull. This video affirms that idea. Then we take a few minutes just relaxing o...
Multiday Yard Projects Day 6 - Concrete Steps Installation
Переглядів 301День тому
FINALLY - the last step for this project - at least for now! Re-using concrete "pavers" that were under the original deck in the area that is now our patio slab. Some were used for the sidewalk project, and these are what remained. They are not "perfect", but will perform the their intended task! So - the arc of concrete steps from the retaining wall stairs to the patio deck is in this video. L...
Multiday Yard Projects Day 5 Topsoil 3
Переглядів 81День тому
Finished spreading out the topsoil in the front yards and cleaned off the driveway. Even got off the tractor and used the wheelbarrow and shovel! Brenda over-seeded the grass areas and watered. I was reminded of WHY we bought the tractor!
Multiday Yard Projects Day 4 Topsoil 2

We've got fences around the deck - limiting (theoretically!) Charlie's access to the yard. We've got topsoil dumped with the tractor - now needs spreading via raking. Want to find out if more needs to be brought into the back - our primary goal.
Multiday Yard Projects Day 3 Topsoil 1

That auto-generated thumbnail reminds me of a scene from Jurassic Park. Oh, never mind! In order to get the topsoil to the location for the new lawn in the back, I've got to move the pile of "4 inch" rocks (what the contractor called them!) used for the drain. Their new location has a "wood crib" I made out of a pallet and some plastic screening. It sorta worked - but we now have a rack. So the...
Multiday Yard Projects Day 2 Mowing
Переглядів 3914 днів тому
Since top-dressing and over-seeding some of the lawns was coming - cutting what was there was the next priority. Then the mower needed a bath too! I used my cell phone for this - and forgot that the audio would suffer. Be prepared to turn up your volume as I did what I could through gain and EQ, but not quite where I would like it. Also - the music is lowered to try to preserve your hearing, ea...

The projects in the yard truly are never ending!! And they really need to be done in a particular order. So this is the first in a series of tasks loosely associated with the Backyard Patio project, in that topsoil and new seeded lawn are part of it. But now this series will cover work in the front, upper and lower too. Lots coming - stay tuned! And thank you for watching, liking, subscribing a...
Bonus - Trying out the Bobcat
Переглядів 94021 день тому
The guys from Spartan and Gonzay gave me a chance to operate their Bobcat skid steer. It was FUN! But, what you DIDN'T see what the 10 minutes it took for me to get the pallet forks on after dropping the bucket. VERY different than my John Deere tractor! It even got a little light on the back wheels when turning toward the truck! Turf tires were bouncier than the industrial tires on my tractor....

Thanks to our new friends with Spartan and Gonzay, Brenda has the patio deck and retaining wall she's wanted - pretty much from when we moved in - just a short 30 years ago!!! I knew that the job was well outside of what I wanted to tackle - so we searched for recommendations and these folks were highly recommended, which we will echo. I didn't video the next day, when Adolfo came by the next a...
