Runway Dirt Moving & Grass Seed Prepartion

The runway had the rough dirt work and final levelling done over the weekend. We bought 100 lbs of grass seed. Expensive! To help it out I built my watering system. We have no running water out there. The system includes a 300 gallon tank, a truck and a water spray boom. Total cost to build the boom was $15. Small holes are drilled every 1". Initial tests show good results. It will still be alot of work to water the grass every day or so.

The old/dying fruit trees are now gone in the garden.

The new pallet forks for the tractor. I don't know how I did anything without them!
