Since the old info will not transfer over and this project will be ongoing for some time, I felt this would give things a starting point for the topic in the new forum. I will be trying to bring all of the posts that are relevant to the consrtuction over to the new forum. This sure will beat the heck out of trying to relocate all the photo's and remember what was said or done. It was kinda like a one shot one post kinda deal. Didn't think I was ever gonna have to repost things so why remember?/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/doze.gif
Here is a link to the old post in the old forums. http://archive.mylargescale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44703 (actually I don't know how the heck to make it a link so just cut and paste the gawd dang address if....)

It's now officially started. RR Track program is up and running and we're taking measurments of the beds later this week. Inorder to make the necessary measurments some foliage need to be relocated. Today we started that relocation.
The first issue was "Where do you move 39 Azalea bushes to?".
Well I had just the spot. We decided to use them as the outline for the area in back. These will define the boundries of the yard space.
So with a hand full of Vodcodine, a shovel, rake, tiller, wheel-burro and hand-truck I set out to get a potion of things done today.
Here before pics of the second area that we cleared today. This takes care of 12 of the 39.
And after.
And here is the new outer edge of the yard.(Far right side looking back away from the house.)
I know they're kinda faint in this pic but you can just make out the whole row of Azaleas.
For what it's worth it was a good solid day. I may nnot move outta the chair for a couple days but I have to say it was worth it. Plus we are expecting that "Significant winter event" the next three days. Now I know that it will pale in comparison to the folks in up-state NY but down here 4" down here can make a real mess of things. This will give me time to recuperate and play some with the design of both layouts. Now if I could only stumble into that scenario I hear a certain person with odd colored stars happened into.
There will be more to follow just not sure when.
