Tammy and Roy got here shortly after 9, having done two smaller jobs before arriving. We continued building the wall at the northwest corner of the lawn, getting that segment finished by early afternoon. In acknowledgement of my advancing years, Tammy and Roy put a couple of steps on the woods side of the wall so I can easily go from the 17th Frisbee golf tee onto the fairway without having to scramble up the wall. Much to Chree’s chagrin (though let’s remember that I mow the lawn, not her), I fired up Mr. Jonsered and cut off (below ground level) the two stumps on the lawn side of the new wall that were left from dead hemlock trees that died and were taken down a couple of years ago. At noon Bob LaPorte brought us 5 cubic yards of topsoil. To finish off the day, Tammy dug a 67 feet long trench along the lawn side of the stone wall that borders the north side of our property. That wall also defines the fairway for Frisbee golf hole #10. The base of that wall is pretty solid ‘cause Jim Ploof built it with his excavator. However, over the years I added a top course of rocks that have never been right. Also, most of the water from the lower end of the driveway debouches onto the lawn above that wall and then causes constant erosion along the wall as it drains into the woods. Time to fix!!!!
