[so] The left wall of the dump bow was bent out, and the top door hinge ripped off, probably from a wreck.
Wrapped a chain around the corner of the wall and pulled it pack into shape with a friends pull-back ram. Note the starter trash left by the previous owner before it went to auction. Thanks fucker.
Welded the top hinge back on and went to the dump the next day. Driving on trash compacted down with the tractor in the background. Those 'sheep's foot' wheels have spikes nearly a foot long.
Went directly from the dump to the compost facility, and bought 4 yards of garden soil, and a yard of compost. 5 yards of dirt is 11,500 pounds, Black Betty struggled a little in the hills. I may have to adjust the coupler height as the landing gear was only 3 inches off the ground...
Most of the garden soil went into the garden, some filled holes in the yard. I circled back without the trailer to dump the compost in the garden.
I realized I needed more dirt to fix the valley between my houses where we had the 80' lift for the tree. I damaged it quite a bit hjauling branches out.
Luckily I found someone nearby with clean black dirt.
Then it was time to get the logs out of the backyard.
The went to a local guys place to be sawn up into planks.
Saturday we (I) worked on the garden.
Free salvaged wall block ftw.
It rained a little yesterday so I'll probably water in the clay along the wall to settle it, then spread the topsoil around. I really need another load of dirt between the houses, garden and a little for a neighbor.
