All Piled Up

Before I move on to progress on the spruce grove, I thought I’d share these.

This is the pile with most of what I cleaned up out of the west yard trees.

There are also two more piles inside the maple grove itself, on the east side, near the garden shed, plus there is a pile next to the log shed near the fire pit, plus the pile near the garage.  All of what was cleared out of the west yard; all the maple grove and west yard trees, plus the trees behind the storage house.

When I was clearing the last of the west yard trees, the cleared out wood was hauled through the gate by the garden.

You can tell where I walked through the most, with the wheel barrow or dragging trees and large branches.

Today, I happily started on the spruce grove perimeter and have photos to process and share.  But first, I need to make a trip into town to pick up some prescription refills, before it’s too late!

Update on the mower

20180609.broken.belt

So I let my brother know about the broken belt on the mower.  He told me there is a 30 day warranty on it, and gave me the invoice number, suggesting I send the place they bought it from this picture.

I went to the company’s website, and there was only a contact form, not an email address, so I couldn’t send the picture.  I also found that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays, so I figured I’d hear back on Tuesday.

I just checked my email before getting of the computer for the night, and there was already a response!

They would be more than happy to fix it.  The warranty is for labour only, so it would just cost me the belt.  I was also told to contact them on Tuesday, or just drop it off and they’ll fix it when they come in.

!!!

The good thing is, we should be able to fit it into the van.  There is no back bench seat; we got rid of that before the move, since it was just in the way, anyhow.  If necessary, we can take out the middle seats, but I doubt we’ll have to.

Tomorrow, the girls and I will empty the van of stuff that’s ready to go into storage, then measure the mower to confirm if it will fit.

I guess it’s a good thing I found those metal things that were used as ramps when I cleaned up behind the garage! :-D
