As was supposed to be the case for this week, I continued to clean up the old fuel shed site, but at this time I focused on raking up old pine mulch and branches and other trash that accumulated on the ground over the years. I started burning up some of the mulch in the burn drum but because of the density of packed mulch, even with some veggie oil/diesel fuel mixture, that shit would not burn good or long for anything. Even when I finished I still had a drum 3/4 full of that shit.
On the other hand I kept cutting weed trees and along with larger branches on the ground, built up a pretty large burn pile by the normal burn site. I added a wheel barrow full of mulch to the burn pile as well. I even started a smaller burn pile of mulch at a spot where I raked some mulch. I kept putting smaller branches on top of that burning pile of shit just to keep the whole disposal machine running. I also took the push mower and ran it over the ground to grind up the mixture of pine mulch and small branches and small saplings and other weedy plants so I didn't have to cut or otherwise pick up the material to stage it at the burn site. There's still several large trees to cut down within the area that I mapped out in my head and with my eyeballs. I wanna be able to have the area cleared so if I feel inclined to do so, I can start sinking fence posts along the imaginary fenceline to get things started with the perimeter fence and just focus on keeping that area trimmed clean. The work will continue.
