We woke up Saturday after sleeping in till 7:00, and hit it. I sprayed for squash bugs and bean beetles while dad started welding more poles together to finish our fence project. Dad needed help because pipe are round and don't spin by themselves. Sooooo hence burnt eyes. The portable welder is loud, very loud and I couldn't hear dad say turn so I would peek ever so quickly but not quick enough. Hence burnt eyes. It only lasted about a day and a half but boy was it annoying.
On to taking the old fence down and weed eating the fence line. Couldn't pull up the old poles so a quick drive into town for a man lift. Not so quick, but pulled the posts, dug 11 holes, set 11 poles and by 7:00 that night the poles were set. And my eyes were hurting.
Sunday day 2, woke up at 7:00 once again and in pain with puss on the side of the face. I knew it was not going to be fun. Went to church had a great time worshiping. Side note, Justin and I are starting our new Sunday School class next Sunday the 12th so pray for the class and the people that we pray will come. Back to my story. Came home and ate the hit it again. Justin did some more welding I stayed far away. Hung all the 2x4's and all the pickets that we had left. Then we had to go and help our song director on his RV that he and his wife live in. I stayed in the truck with my eyes shut. Back home and we did something but I can't remember what.
Monday day 3, I had to work. Dad poured a little cement and almost hurt himself. It is hard work to do by yourself. It helps if one person mixes while the other pours it into the forms. Came home from work and dad was just finishing up. Then we harvested our corn. 276 ears later it was done. Pulled up all the stalks and took then to the horses down the road. They loved them. Mean while I once again stabbed myself with bailing wire in the forearm it is still sore today, but the eyes are good. Went home and started cleaning the corn. Finish the corn, and had to move fence because there was now no fence between us and our neighbor with the big dog. Took down the migshift fence made for stage 2 of the project and shifted it to the field fence. Then we moved and tied together all the metal things that we will put in the cement floor of our shop. I don't know what they are called but they are about 5 feet wide and 15 feet long and heavy. Then we decided we were done.
Tuesday we both went to work needed rest from the weekend I came home and cut all the corn off the cob and put it in the freezer. Only cut myself to times.
So needless to say it was a very successful weekend. Got a ton done.
