The great make over continues (and continues....)

Well,
  I'm knackered, thats about all I can manage...Actually yesterday Steph was at a course on soil and fertiliser, so I had Connor for the day, and he had a massive tantrum, he isn't always smiles!

On Friday though, Connor and I spent a few hours dismantling the dog deck, here you can see I've ripped it down to the new width, and have managed to pull it out of the ground using the tractor, glad when we made it, we were lazy digging the footings!

As you can see from the photos, Connor was being "helpfull"
Then today we started burning the felled trees at around 7:30, and around lunch time, we had got most of it cleared up. The ash pile is around 3ft high!  It still burning now, and there is still heaps more to go (but they are still standing, but looks like we've found a contractor who is local and should be able to dig the stumps out, just got to get hold of him).
In addition to that, we also got the goats shorn, unfortunatly 1 girl (Gloria) had maggots in her back leg, but she should come right pretty quickly. 
On a aside, this morning whilst doing the fire, I could hear the deer in the hills in front of us roaring!  Hopefully I'm going to get out in the next few weeks for a hunt, fingers crossed!
