More Mud moved

The pile of mud (or should i say mountain) is getting smaller:) Another mud moving day completed today and im knackered! Phili was in the digger again and just me on the tractor and trailer today. Its hard work just me tractoring as there's no break between loads, and although the trailers tips I still have to spade it out of the trailer bed and push it down the slope, and hook out the large lumps and stack to one side so they dont crash at the bottom breaking through the fence:)
Im gradually finding things i dont want anymore in the shed and selling them on to fund a laptop fast enough to edit the video footage im shooting so you can see all this. My plan is to make it all in to a build diary as i go to accompany my blog here.
Im hoping to get some chevron tyres off a friend for the other tractor to increase grip, then hopefully my brother will come back for another mud moving day.

Mud Moving day.

Wednesday 16 July was a Mud moving day to clear some of the mud i've dug out for the footings of the garage. Phili was on the digger, filling trailers towed around by me on my Wheelhorse Electro 12 and my brother using the Wheelhorse 312-8 that i bought Monday evening as a none runner, and spent Tuesday afternoon cleaning the carb and rewiring the switch to turn a none runner gamble in to a very sweet running tractor, that ran faultless all day. We cleared about 1/3rd of the mud, there's a lot! Having had to dig 2m down by 650mm wide due to trees next door. And as it's currently piled up in the middle of the garage we need it gone before anything can progress. Trying to juggle work and Robins Nest building is tricky at the moment, but still determined to get the garage up by Christmas.
