Septic issue hopefully addressed this Friday
Tree roots found a way in our main line this spring. My neighbor and I dug it out by hand. We replaced a section of PVC that was cracked. Not a fun job at all, rather nasty job actually, but we got it done. It probably would have cost big bucks if I called in a company to fix it. But other than several hours of labor it was free. Because between my neighbor and I we what the materials needed for the repair.

Hate those restless hours - might as well get up. Up at 5:45 this morning to beat the heat. First cup down, sun is up, gotta get busy.

yes, especially when it is this hot out later on. we got out this morning early and did some weeding. everything though is always so wet from the dew that it can be a lot more messy.

Goats LOVE to do brush clearing!! :lol: some companies use them to clear right of ways in terrain mechanical devices cannot go. For some goat herd owners, it's their business -- rent a truckload 😂 usually the have LGDs that accompany them.

I can tell you, pen some in an area & they'll make it a cleaned up park in a few days! Amazing.

Using a lot of sheep on these solar farms. The goats aren't good there -- they wanna dance on the panels 🤣

My observation... All goats really do is eat. If they can't eat it, they head butt it and find something else to eat.

A son of a friend of mine rents goats for land clearing. The way he talks about it, it's apparently a pretty good business model.

I recall it was Chicago O'Hare International Airport using goats, sheep, llamas, jackasses and maybe even other grazing critters, to manage vegetation growth. But it could have been another airport.
