I don't think it can be demolished short of dynamite. Where it sits would have been the ideal place for the new tool shed. I don't like the system we use now. It is too tempting to leave tools out if you know you are going to use them the next day in the same area. Our current tool storage area is too out of the way. I wouldn't mind the stone well if I could get things to grow well in it, but I think it has been invaded by moles or burrowing something-or-others. I used it as a water garden when I first took on the property and liked it. I got tired of trimming back the nearby pines to keep it in sunlight. Large as they are, I think it will be easier to have the pines removed. Brittle pines have no business so close to the house in a hurricane prone region anyway. The new tool shed can go where the pines now stand. Best of all, taking down trees close to the house is a job for professional arborist. I don't have to do much. :-) Jim overdid yesterday and is having a recovery day. He trimmed grape vines and helped with visuals when I reset the post of the arbor. He also tended the fire in the burn pit where we toss organic matter not fit for compost. Nadine is buried up in for-profit work today. Love the t-shirt design as Jim described it to me, Debra. I don't think I will be the only one who would like to have one of those. k* |
