Phase one of junk-metal removal has begun: so far, a giant dumpster-full, plus this rusted steel piled in the manure bunker. Other treats in the woods include cans and broken glass, a vine-tangled manure spreader, a mini-fridge with a tree growing out of it, a rusted harrow dating from colonial times, and a giant rusted cylinder that my husband says is the stern of a World War II U-Boat. (Our manager calls it The Fuselage.)
Good thing we have our caretaker here with his excavator, dump truck and backhoe. As our manager said, “I’ll take the bathtub with a side of tetanus.”
Start of the bunker pileup…
… and how it looks now.
The orangey one was extracted from the pond.
Nice feature on the end of this pipe
Jammy in there for scale
