Seems like we need to do some maintenance on our road. Here the other day, Elin stood quite a while talking to our neighbors pushing the stroller back and forth. At the end the stroller almost got stuck in the rut created by the wheels. And several days later the ruts has not gone away.
My idea of having fun on a Friday evening: After Elin and the kids had gone to sleep I went out and started digging a ditch behind the outbuilding where I’m not able to use the backhoe loader (or any other machine) without risking rolling down the step hill. Decided to spend an hour, well aware that it will take longer, but my back is not prepared for more than an hour. Must admit that I admire Elins grandfather and his crew that dug out all this manually with the help of a small tractor. One thing is for me to dig the ditch next to the concrete wall, but digging everything when most if it is stone hard clay…OMG!
When done I will try to get rid of the moss, then mount the plastic protection on the concrete, lay drainage and cover with gravel.
Picture from yesterday morning, no snow anymore, but still below zero during night and early morning. Previous status was from the 7’th, found here
