"I could do the same thing.
The only thing I don't have is the tank a trailer a water pump and the creek."

Hehehe. My grandfather used to say, "I could have ham and eggs, if I had some ham and some eggs.
After years of struggling with a way to water my garden, I finally decided to buy a trailer. I picked it up at a local farm auction for 130 dollars. Of course, the tires were shot, so I had to replace them. I then needed a water pump, which I had to purchase at retail. The water tank was another problem. They aren't cheap either. However, I was able to pick one up at another local auction for only 125 dollars.
The good thing about buying the trailer and tires, was that I was then able to go get my little Kubota tractor after I decided to buy it. That trailer is going to come in handy for many things, such as when my tractor breaks down and needs major repairs! That's life.
Life could be so much easier, if only I didn't have a desire to inflict so much pain on myself, by taking up gardening. hehehe.

Need to go out to the barn and finish preparation for the boat launch on Friday. I worked late last night, arrived home from a training seminar and then did all the associated computer work so I did not need to mess with it today. But here I sit on the computer, must be a sickness.
Pouring rain now so there goes the jog around the block

Hardwood,
I thought about the green slime I'd eventually have, when I filled the tank. Since I won't be using this tank for any other purpose, the green slime won't cause me any grief.
Not sure if I want to add any clorine bleach to my garden water. I suppose it wouldn't hurt, provided I don't put in too much, but I prefer to use nature's water.
Green water is far better than having no water at all.

My son used the backhoe to dig up an area that was sinking from stumps having been buried there. We will dig it all up, dump some old cinder blocks and stones in the hole, then cover back up with the top soil and relevel the area. My son is much neater that I would be with the excavation. I am impressed but always nervous about safety.

One word of caution about using old cinder blocks as back-fill.
If you don't mash them up first, the holes in them will not fill with soil right away, so as time goes on, and the soil naturally flows into the cavities, the soil in that area will still settle and sink.
Either using a sledge hammer, easier work than you think, or the B/H, smash the blocks into pieces, THEN put them in the hole.
Best of luck.

Murf, these cinder blocks had their holes filled with concrete. The previous owners of my house had used them for a base to build decking on around the pool - bad idea! Everything eventually heaved and I pulled it all up and replaced with bluestone. So these blocks are just an eye sore now and solid concrete.

The hole my son is digging with the backhoe is getting very big. Now I have to find a place to get rid of the stumps he is digging up. I am enjoying watching his progess. He is a much neater tractor operator than I am. He is stacking the dirt in a huge neat pile and he is leveling up around the hole so that he can get the backhoe back in safely. I have to show him how to grease everything up tomorrow. I have never seen my tractor so full of dust.
