That’s what my butt is this evening. Wrapped up two days of replacing 12’x4’ raised beds with rough sawn full dimensioned 2”x12” then wheelbarrowing in just over a cubic yard of wet garden soil compost mix then unloading but a shovel full at a time. Good think I only have to do this about every 12-15 years! Don’t think I’ll be doing it at 81 in 15 years!
It takes about two and a half to three solids weeks in the spring to get everything mowed, edged, demossed, weeded and sprayed just so you can spread 7-12 cubic yards of red fir bark dust. At least once it is back in shape it drops off to just mowing and edging!😄
Oh ya, throwing thatching everything this year too🥴.
I SWEAR I will never have this much grass, lawn edge or flower beds again! Someone please come buy this place!

Well Robb, I have bad news for you!!!
My Mom turns 83 this month. Her boyfriend gave her birthday gift early. Believe it or not, a new chain saw.
She doesn't care for the gas powered ones, so he got her a new rechargeable one.
She's thrilled and no tree is safe...

I have one of those 20v DeWalt chainsaws just for when I don’t want to wrestle the Stihl. With 4 good batteries my kids used it to limb up about 300 twenty year old fir trees about 8’ high a few years ago. Working little machines so I bet your mom will be making sawdust like termite!!!

My house is on 63 acres. My landscaped yard is 5 acres. Probably the only thing I enjoy more than handguns is working in my yard.

Building a new house and going to plant the yard to a deer food plot mix and let the deer keep it mowed.
