Yard work II
This rant is meant as a hex on whom ever buried the remains of a tile floor in my back yard.
When we moved in I wasn't surprised by finding old garbage in the woods in our back yard, but then I discovered how much was there . This wasn't a case where over a period of time the wind has blown and the boulders held the refuse. It is pretty obvious that some of this stuff was dumped there.
Then I saw the 1 inch tile. Picking it up I discovered more and more. Now I have been digging for two days to unearth the tile and chunks of concrete it was stuck to and wheeling the heavy loads to the dumpster we've rented. I'm still not done. It may not be poisoning the earth but; firstly, it's an eye sore and secondly, it smacks of disrespect for self and others. 7and8 are helping and I hope they are learning a lesson from the yeah-hoos who did this.

HA! great story man. when I was digging our new pond in the backyard we uncovered all kinds of crap, full sheet of OSB board, 100lb chunk of concrete, pieces of 2x6 and of course 972 wheel barrows FULL of rocks (or at least enough to FEEL like that and make rock pile 6 feet long by over 3 feet high) great way to teach the kids the joy of hard work though :D
