Hello @reibur1951

I just read your latest post and feel concerned for you. You said, "i lift push heavy things and work till i can not walk any more." It sounds as if you need to consider some alternatives to clearing the land and still taking care of yourself.

Have you thought of any alternatives?

Doing okay - almost at the end - a lot has to do with the landscaping at house and weeds taking containers to house there is no one else but me; oh a few friends say they will help but then cop out when it involves manual labor 🙁 There is no money to hire it done - Tho sitting on 2' steel but it dropped from $240-350 a ton down to 160 Tin shred has dropped from $120-160 to $80 a ton and they changed there dumpster fees from $15 a ton up to $250 for a dumpster - so I been hauling it in myself

Been keeping the 5.3a that we have cleared mowed and even tho riding mower it bothers me to

Bobcat has been down Sep-about Dec last year then a couple times this year just got it back up running and hoping it stays running for what little we have left to do - so have not doing much except up at new house and I got to stay on top of the weeds since it is in town - so far they have not complained and they have been total out of control - but hopefully finally getting a control on some - have restored to weed killer to which means no planting of grass seed till next year if its wears off

Standing, twisting bothers me the most at time if doing to long and I do quit when I get to that point and rest for a day maybe 2.

I got to try keep going as I can not lose what I got everything I had except the 5.3a is invested in the house and the truck.

For being 71 next month I and doing great I guess - I have inspiration in a Culverite who is out walking her dog uptown - 1-2 miles everyday, out mowing her yard and doing her own yard work and garden.

Figured everything would be about completely done b y now - not much left but still some - there is about a 200 - 300 precent difference than when started.

Friend his still here helping me he does most everything out here. I just figured up via excel that since 2019 that 209 ton of scrap has went off the property - its paid for the clean up and some of repairs to bobcat . I thought I would have more left over from the sale of the 64.5 acres but did not - after taxes and new motor for bobcat and some things for the house.

Nothing has went right since late last Sept and feel discouraged. Just thought things would be better by now. Guess feeling sorry for myself, It will either work out or I will fail what ever happens is God's will and I have done my best tho at times i feel I have not.
