The four images here show results of the yard work this past week.
The 4th one shows the location relative to the house. Start there.
The yellow dots show a house-surround road, newly dug to dirt and rocks.
The purple area was a fenced area mostly used as a firewood storage area with a shed and covered cords of wood. The shed housed aa small electric splitter.
Back at the top, image #1, shows the cleaned purple area, with house to the right. Fences are temporary to protect small plum trees. This will become a Pétanque playing surface, called a boulodrome.
This photo is from the SE edge of the purple area (as was the first photo), farthest from the house. Parts of the shed and other things cleared from the purple area.
Swinging way around to the left of the previous image is a mound of rock and dirt; from 25 years ago when the area was leveled for a round pen. Last week, we had an excavator and small dump-truck, so worked some to move this pile. At the end of July or maybe August 1st, we will rent a skid-steer and get serious about using this pile and a couple of others to fill and level the boulodrome, with any extra going on the road. The road will need rocked and graveled. The playing surface will be packed gravel.
