Subject: RE: BS: Spring Declutter & Exercise, April 2011
I am working on dismantling one of the wing walls on the front of my house. The thing was crumbling when the previous owners were getting ready to sell it, so they used thinset (the stuff you use to put tile on floors) like mortar. It's a crumbling mess. I had used some of the big chunks of mortar from the pile of rocks in my back yard when I build my keyhole garden, but it doesn't hold up (it's not like chunks of concrete), so I took one wheelbarrow of it back to the very back of the yard to dump. I'm working on another one now. I stopped to come in and check out the Sprint site - none of my picture mail photos are going through. Seems there is a system outage and they're working on it. I'll send them later.

Before the new wall I'm finishing the keyhole garden wall. No point in having a couple of partially finished projects. The digging has been pretty good because we had two heavy rains several days ago. I have to get some Bermuda grass out of the area, then restack the limestone rocks and fill it in. I'll use some of the new dirt from next door (after filtering out the Bermuda in that). It's almost ready to go.
