Personal Day...........that means I get to take the day to clean and organize. I was supposed to work on the chicken coop but the skunk we killed there the night before had such a bad odor left behind I elected to start a different project. I really needed to sort our wood "bone yard" for pieces to start the next two projects: Nuc Beehive Stands and Raised Bed Gardens. I went as along as my back held out. Found many small pieces of scrap 4x4s - am in need of 30 two foot sections. Also need 20 2x4s cut to 20". This starts the hive stands, will need many, many more. Wasn't planning on starting the raised beds for the garden until later in the winter but I have so much wood that is not good for much else that it would be nice to get it out of the way so that I can pile better wood in its place. I pulled all the screws and nails I could from the recycled wood that has been donated to the farm from friends and got it all organized. Am ready to start cutting but tomorrow is pottery day.
Another plus in cleaning the pile is - I found dinner! a rattlesnake was coiled under the pile and all parts will be utilized. Wonder if this is where my two kittens went that I am missing? Seriously though.....to prevent this I should have not had the rattlesnake habit to begin with. Getting the wood off the ground will prevent rats, mice, snakes, and termites.
Here are my before and after photos of the "bone yard". Will this inspire you to get out and get organized?
