It's a good thing I'm not working a regular job right now. This version of Covid that hit me has me attempting to work on the property with little energy and unable to work more than 3 or 4 hours before I have to call it quits.  It likely doesn't help that I'm not exactly fit and in shape.  But it got much worse after I got sick. At least I could hang out there for 5-7 hours before this virus crap.  

It's almost 1:00 pm and I'm done for the day.  At least working on the property anyway.  Maria was out there helping me pull weeds.  No, I don't intend on pulling 7 acres worth of weeds, I do intend on pulling the weeds on all of the lots, the doggy park area and behind the lots.  Probably less than 2 acres worth.  It's hard work - even if the weeds are mostly pulling out relatively easy.  There are lots of them and I could only wish that it had been raining when they did the dirt work, I could have planted grass all over the place and a lot of this weed issue wouldn't exist right now.  

The grass seed I put down last week is growing.  It's been raining so everything is growing.  

I did go and get a 5X9 trailer yesterday.  I put the generator on it this morning and dragged it to the bridge work site. Easily pulls it, nothing near as hard as the 4 wheeler trying to pull that much larger trailer.  No, I didn't do any work on the bridge, getting that generator to the work site was all I wanted to do with that today, I headed to where Maria was working to help her pull weeds and haul them off to a burn pile.  The RV portion of this project is more important right now than building that bridge.  

I want the bridge done before all of that wood warps, tho.  

I'm going to Lowe's to get more grass seed.  I can have it growing and thickening up before the summer grass seed time is over. I have about a month before it's rye grass season.  You just sow the rye grass over top of the Bermuda grass.  I'm simply not going to pull all of these weeds and not have something growing in it's place and right now? I'm on a time pressure situation.   

The pressure is self-perceived but it's real.  Get this operation up and running asap.  It doesn't have to be perfect, it does have to be operational and have the bare minimums in place.  I can't get the contractor to return my calls/messages again, as normal.  I have half a mind to just use another contractor to get the gravel installed. There is one local and that person runs the company that sells the gravel to everyone in this region to begin with.  I didn't say he's cheap, I just know he's far more available.  And he responds to messages.  

I'm working on the campgrounds but they do not take precedence.  There is a lot of work left to do back there to make it possible for tents to be pitched and vehicles to be able to access it.  I need a dozer to do some finish work and that isn't going to happen right away.  A dozer could clear the front weeds and level it while doing the finish work in the back. I want to wait until winter grass season is here before I get a dozer to clean up the front.  I can shove the weeds into a burn pile and then seed the rye grass.  In the rear, there is a drop off that needs dirt dumped and then spread out to be able to have much of anything driving back there. 

There is that steep, long hill, but I don't think that's a particularly good route for campers to have to take.  If they don't have a pickup truck, they'll never make it back out of there.  The dirt road going down that hill is nice and smooth but it's nothing a 4 door nissan sedan is going to handle.  Or any low riding vehicle.  The other route is where that drop off is. It's about 4 feet high, I'd need a couple dump truck loads of dirt brought back there. I do have a pile of dirt, but it's not close.  

I suppose I could rent a small back hoe for a day to just take buckets of dirt from the pile.  That would likely take hours - it would need a lot of buckets worth. But, it would very likely save money over having a dump truck bringing in dirt, the dump truck couldn't make it to that drop off either, at least not a semi-truck version of one.   

I dunno, but I need those drainage pipes installed and I need to know if the contractor will do it or if I need to get with it on my own? I can't get the dude to reply.  

With that, I'm going to message the contractor again.  If I don't get a reply, I'm going to consider going and buying the pipe myself. The rental place in town has mini-trackhoes and I can install it myself and at least get that part of this deal ready to be graveled over.
