After getting the fence panels put up along the run going from the dog yard up to the car park I decided to start cleaning up the area by the chicken yard fence where I had put the portable garage. The portable garage has long since been stripped of its skin due to it degrading from the sun and the area had become overgrown with poison ivy and other weeds. My plan was to disassemble the portable garage frame and clean up the other stuff that is in this area, along with cutting up all the foliage and plant shit that is present in this area.
The goal of course is to get the area stripped of anything that doesn't belong there, in order to stage the car trailer and tow dolly in a way where they will be pulled from this area up to the car park area and out to the main driveway. This will be necessary as I won't be able to pull these trailers straight out into the driveway after I put the fence up along the driveway. After clearing the garage frame and the associated stuff from the area where the frame sat, I then brought out the push mower to start going over the grounds cutting up the poison ivy and other ground weeds along with some of the pine mulch, trying to grind up as much as possible to help clean the grounds up. I also had to cut some weed trees and other shrubs to help in making the area cleaner. As can be seen in the last pic, the other thing I did was drag one of the half drum burn cans over to the site to stuff full of sticks and other wood scrap that was uncovered during the mowing. I wanted all these branches and large sticks gone since they would be a problem at any time mowing needs to be done in this area or when trying to do things like moving trailers around. Branches and the like would act as speed bumps or other obstacles if allowed to remain. So ashes to ashes dust to dust. I managed to start making my way through the woods towards the main driveway as well. The tow dolly would have to be moved to facilitate the cutting of the ground brush and more weed trees would be cut down and removed to the burn pile in this process. With the car trailer and tow dolly moved into their new places next to the chicken yard fence will I be able to start sinking posts and nailing up fence panels along the perimeter along the driveway to continue enclosing everything in. If I get a line run along the driveway to meet up with the car park area, then cover the length of run from the driveway to the chicken yard fence, I will have another area enclosed more, leaving the east side of the yard to fence in, going from the chicken yard fence in the woods, past the firewood shed and to the garden fence on that same end, and along the open ground to the woods only to double back a short distance to intercept the back of the old dog yard area fence, which makes up the perimeter fence on the south end of the yard. It will get done, supplies permitting.
