Major declut of gardening tasks ydy.

Now-nearly-empty front porch has revealed it's True Purpose at long last and we will implement tomorrow: storage for the stuff that goes in the van when I sleep in it and when we camp-- all nylon-duffle-bagged to use modularly. Porch is dry, private, handy to load as needed, and well patrolled by feline personnel who do not spray. Good timing too-- for Saturday I set off on one of my little "missions."

Tomorrow the rugs out there now get cut, and sent to the destination rooms.

The chair(s) holding the rugs off the floor have a space waiting around the fire-ring.

The van will be loaded for travel, and excess stuff removed to porch.

There is some of the stuff that had been backporch storage that will also move, tomorrow, to this storage area.

That'll clear the space where one of the rugs is going on the BACK porch.

So tomorrow is a major-swaparound day, Hardi willing and the little tractor's trailer don't break. :~)

We may even try the van out, ourselves, tomorrow night, if the weather cooperates.

The "fun" job today was soaking a 50' heavy orange extension cord to get the bird crap offa it. It used to hang underneath the swallow's nest, and.... ewww. I soaked it last night in a bucket of enzymes and surfectant soaps. The crap ran right off it into a washcloth I wanted to discard anyway. In a little bit I will re-roll it into a different bucket (lets me take out only the length needed), which also doubles as a traveling pee bucket-- it has a nifty screw-tight lid a new friend gave me.

The boondocking host-driveway for Saturday has a certain type of space where I know I can try all this setup out, and a bed waiting in case I don't quite get it right on this trip.

The new screen I put in the front door last week freed up some old metal-wire screen-- probably a perfect travel window for the boondocker when I cut the rip out of it, to fit.
