We had more somewhat-damaging rain/hail Tuesday evening. Beate and Tim unblocked the big culverts, and Andy worked on our part of the road — after removing a tree that had fallen across it.

Parts of the tree pushed over the edge of the road.
He said all of the culverts needed work, but the first seven closest to the house were easy — the other seven not so much. For instance, this culvert was a hard one. It was completely buried…
not only with dirt, but with a part of a fence post and big hard-to-move rocks.
He still has three more to do.
Hopefully your day was an easier one. (Mine was!)

First afternoon back home and since I am on self imposed house arrest, I just lazed around and caught up with all backlog. Since it is raining almost non stop, there is no charm in going outside and risking a fall.
Yay, rain! Yay, for being back home — the best part of traveling!
Monk (Jean) your 1st road picture, the road is disgustingly perfect. Couldn’t be classified as a country road. As for all the work involved, it must be done to keep Andy –or anyone fit.
The picture shows the upper part of the road — the bottom part looks a lot worse. If he can, Andy will wait until fall to have Orlando fix it.
We have a cabin 10 miles above the highway. Our roads have never looked that good.
Yours would look nice too if you had to have it fixed up to be able to drive on it. 🙂
i’m just praying andy doesn’t have a heart attack up there.
but he must be in excellent shape to keep doing what he’s doing on that road!
I’m more worried about his back than a heart attack, but who knows? He is in good shape.
Some easy days here lately, thankfully.
That’s great!
hope that fallen tree will become firewood 🙂
good to have projects wherever they are situated….
I’m not sure — we have some that’s a lot closer. The idea behind the solar heating panels is to cut down on the amount of wood he has to chop. The pieces left by the chainsaw are too big for the wood stove and need to be chopped into smaller chunks.
