Went over there, started digging out holes, loosening up the soil around them. The boy was helping and doing a good job, actually. First load of dirt consumed by one, single hole, back with the trailer to one of the dirt piles, loaded a good amount on the rear of the trailer and back to the first and then second hole.
Well, pothole to be more specific, fixing the driveway was on the top priority list. I don't know how many we did, I just know that we had to take a break after a good long while doing it. It was hot outside. The boy actually was begging for a break in the AC in the shed, so I figured I best let him cool off for a few.
Back to work and more dirt and all but one of the potholes is done. The only reason I missed one is exactly that: I missed it. It was time to leave after 3 hours, take the boy home, there was a birthday party at a friend's house for 5 year old. It was an outdoor thing replete with water balloons and a swimming pool. I didn't get into the pool but I did throw some balloons.
During the time out in the heat over there, my underarms broke out in a grotesque looking rash and also another area which shall remain nameless. It got worse and worse. I mean, very uncomfortable. I have no idea what set it off, but coming home and into AC helped it subside a bit. I may end up having to take a Benadryl if this itchiness doesn't subside, there is too much of it.
I'll have to go back over those potholes with more dirt after people drive over them for a few days. Rest assured I'm not working tomorrow, Monday I'll work just not sure what I will be doing. I'm getting pretty uneasy about the appearance of the park with no grass, actually, dead grass. It may be a reason why I'm not getting anyone in there. All I know is, it needs to be rectified.
I just lost another long term as of last night. I knew about this, he was supposed to stay a year but as with another, the power company said no, we changed our plans, it will be next year before we will restart the project. I'm getting a few - very few - inquiries about long term. I don't know if summertime is just going to be a slow season or what. I just know that I am in line with what other parks are charging in the area.
The lack of grass is very unappealing. That's all I know. And there are weeds that have grown up everywhere with all of the recent rains. It is possible I will get out there tomorrow and do some mowing, actually.
Monday, 8:00 am, the man is showing up to look at the AC on the motor coach. I have no idea what that will turn into, but my guess is that I will need a new AC unit for it.
I'm going to divert my attention to tilling the ground, I think. Since I have to be out there early AM anyway, I might as well get with it while it's not miserably hot. Get 3 or 4 hours in before the humid/hellish heat hits. That's enough time to get 2 and maybe part of a 3rd lot done. It's grueling, hard work keeping that machine in place while it's churning up the ground. I really wish I could have just found a tractor with an attachment to rent instead.
With the park slowly emptying out, it will rush my return to work back sooner than expected or wanted. I'm going to really have to work my butt off to get that ground ready for sod. Even more work installing the sod and even more after that watering it until it is established. Not really looking forward to all of that work out in this heat, it's going to be a thing to get up early.
Seriously itching here, I'm really tempted to take that benadryl. It's just that it will make me extremely sleepy, it's only 5:00 pm.
That's it for now. Gotta do something about this itching.
