This Sunday Chell and I did a few things around the yard. Chell planted potatoes in crates that can be moved around and she finally cleaned the area under the fort and built up a sandbox. I fixed the blade clutch line on the riding mower, took down the old grape vine rack and built up a new one and built a small fence to keep the damn dogs from chewing up the grape vines this year. I also pruned the fruit trees.

| This year we should get pounds of potatoes from these crates that Chell built up |

| Sandbox area Before |

| Sandbox area After |
 |
| Broken spring on the blades clutch line |
 |
| Metal unraveling on the blades clutch line |
 |
| Wasn't to hard to fix |
 |
| All Done |
 |
| Before. The dogs chewed up lots of last years vines and the little vine rack I built just wasn't working for me so I pruned the vines and took apart the vine rack and worked on a new vine rack. |
 |
| Broke the old vine rack down. I use screws when I build so repairing or taking apart is not a thing |
 |
| I set 2 4x4's in quickcrete and used the 6' 2x4's from the old rack to connect the 4x4's |
 |
| Once I connected the 4x4's I took my time and snaked the grape vines in patterns that will let the vines keep growing and make the grapes easily accessible. I even got the small Muscadine grape vine tangled with with normal grapes. |

 |
| I had to build a small 3' fence to keep the dogs from chewing on the vines and eating our grapes. I used up the rest of the old vine rack to build the fence along with some new 2x4's. |
 |
| Built my sections |
 |
| Attached my sections. Done |
 |
| The pruning of the fruit trees was not all that hard but it was needed. A few limbs were growing way to fast while the others are at a steady pace and some limbs didn't make it through the winter. |
 |
| Done |
We still have loads of repair work and new idea's for this summer so until next time....
