Workin' Man today!

Today I found an opportunity to help the McCullough household with some landscaping work. (Always has been a small passion of mine)

I quick ran to the King Soopers grocery store to get myself some milk and cereal. I'm sure you who know me can guess what I got...

After a jethrow bodine sized bowl of cereal, Richard and I were off to work. My tasks were this.

Remove 8 small trees from what will become a garden
Replant 6 of them along the East edge of the garage
Put the remaining two into buckets to be given away.
Till up the new garden area (approx. 3' x 30', 4"-6" till depth)

Doesn't sound like too much, but, if you have ever dug up a tree, you know to keep a good root-ball and to get as many roots as possible.

These were evergreens. Boom.

I am Strong like Bull (insert Russian accent)

Richard chose to till up a large area of dead grass. This guy is a trooper. One hard working sombitch.

This was Richards area today. (along with helping me out a little.)

This is the finished garden area behind me.

Here are 6 of the 8 trees. I think it looks amazing. I must say... I am a darn good Landscaper. You can't even tell that they WEREN'T there 6 hours ago.

 

 

 

 

Those 6 trees are the ones I planted. I started in the middle an kept them equidistant so that it looked nice. It turned out sooooo wonderful! I am really proud of it!

I worked really hard today. Got some sun. But most off, I had many awesome conversations with Richard and learned alot about the inner-arborist of him. He is very knowledgeable.

We had planned to come in at 4:30, eat a little bit, then go back and finish up. But great minds think alike and him and I both agreed that we were cashed for the day. We worked for about 6 hours, nearly straight. So we were satisfied over what we accomplished.

Now, its about 6:30. I will probably be going to Johnny's Cigar Bar tonight. Lets hope my back keeps up with me!

Goodbye for now Errbody!
