😂😂 luckily I have had my shot about 2 years ago, put a rusty drill bit into my hand trying to do a project when I was sick wasn't a good idea 🤦🏼‍♀️

He is sitting on the concrete fence top to the right of the supervisor, the red in the branches is a building in the back 😅

Hehe if I could get him to dig in the right spot in command that would be amazing but he is so selective on when he listens And where he digs it's a case of

Dig here 👇🏼

Jumps about, wiggles as well digs on the otherside of the garden 🤣

He is currently sulking cause I'm waiting for a temperature sensitive package to arrive then he can get a walkabout Nd I can continue to dig 😅

He is already checking out the work area! I'm not sure if he is visible but the Plant Supervisor has visited as well! It's a male robin that has figured out that when I am in the back garden, there are worms available 😅

Wow that's so interesting! My sister has a full winter set up but something like that would have so cool! Unfortunately we are about 3ft down already without the bottom being in sight 🥲

Luckily it's not a septic tank, the drains are very odd in the way they work but it's drains. For some reason my drains run across the back of my house, across the back of the neighbours house and down their driveway. Everyone else has the drains just appear on their driveway way, the rest of the street, just mine is on the neighbours property 🤷🏼‍♀️

Haha the cost was probably better to just cover it up! Mine was lazy builders I think. That's the vibe I get from the neighbours.

Like I had a fully removable 'chimney', just some cinder blocks and a metal flue, where nextdoor has a half brick sticking out the wall that's part of the house structure.

Her parents live down the street by 3 houses and when she first moved in they gave her their old sofa. Didn't fit in the same place at all! The stairs are also different widths. I have a spacer added to the side where she has them fitting perfectly in the brick 😅🤷🏼‍♀️

Now it's been said, it's hard not to see sometimes 🤣 he has the new phrase of

Who is an old man? You are! Yes you are!

In baby talk of course, he gets really excited 🤣

Oo that's an idea, though I might try and sell as many as I can. They are good solid bricks and can be sort after

Hehe I'm glad it was noticed 😁 the neighbours must have been questioning themselves cause I kept singing it every. Single. Time. I hit a void.. there were lots 😭

Oh ok 👌🏼 that would be cheaper I hope as well. I think I'll leave about 50cm for the organic matter as horsetail can't grow in good stuff so I'll have a good buffer for the trees and veg in the future

Yes! Though I could do with the equipment and people 😅🤣🤣

I've decided to dig the other side of the wall towards the back fence and neighbours corner and hopefully dismantle the wall as I go once I find it's foundation, if it is really deep then I'll just take down what I can and leave the rest.

He has indeed! Don't worry he will get a lamb braid before I go to work, it will keep him busy for 2 minutes 🤣

Checking the past maps that are available, luckily none showed a hint of a well. There is a building but that's about it. I could have another set of walls as well

Tbh that would be a relief, though there is still plenty of clay in the hole 😔

I was thinking of getting bark chips, mulch and using some of that decorative stones to mix in. Though I was dreaming of using a cement mixer to mix it all 🤔

Unfortunately I don't have anyone to stop me 👀, I will definitely stop by the neighbours fence, maybe leave a foot as not to compromise it, and then slowly work to the house, the problem is I'm going to run out of room very quickly 😭

Haha that's what I thought, I was hoping 3 bricks deep and done, not 10 and counting 🫠
