I'm pooped. We stayed in bed until noon (literally). I felt guilty, so I decided to burn the big pile of dead branches by the entrance.
Before I did that I had to convert the barrel into a burn barrel. I was going to use the grinder, but that wasn't working. So I drilled 4 holes per vent and then connected the dots with a jigsaw. It worked really well.
I set up the barrel and then began moving the pile to the barrel. It took half a dozen loads with the cart to do it. I had to pump up the tires on the cart first.
While I was doing that Ellen was cutting some dead bushes in the back yard. She added them to the pile.
The burning took about an hour and a half. All that stuff had been on the ground for months or years. It burned fast and hot. I'm going to clean up tomorrow if we don't go to a lot of sales.
