A pile free lawn

Today I have moved (by hand) two big piles of timber taking them from the lawn (where they were waiting for the purchase of a chain saw) and putting them in the cart barn. The small picture shows the pile at an early stage of its construction - it got significantly larger! At least under cover the wood can continue to dry out and if as looks probable the barn collapses at least it will have something to fall on! Our daffodils are just starting to peep through and so I'm anxious to do the task now to prevent their being trampled.

Dave is doing the soul and arm destroying task of scraping old paint off the doors. He now needs a new scraper blade (and probably a new elbow too).
