Hack and Slash IRL

Harris and I took advantage of Madeline's nap and the warmer weather today to get some hacking and slashing of bamboo. We also put an advertisement on Craigslist and another on Freecycle to encourage folks to come and get bamboo on their own.

Here's the progress as of today. While there is a slope, it's not THAT much of a slope. The pile is that majestic.


We spent about an hour and a half each over there, so we'll clock this at 3 hours total. We're estimating we have about 3 more total hours of hack and slash remaining. We're then going to rent or borrow a leaf blower once it's dryer and blow all of the leaves into the corner. Hopefully at that point we'll have hauled off all of the bamboo and will be able to mow the hell out of it.



Interesting things found today:
Tires
Bottles
Cups (that strangely match the ones used at the group home next door...)
An eddie bauer bag
another part of the toilet.
