Fall Plans for Front East Side
There is visible the concrete tread of the former driveway about a foot from the wall. Grass grows over it in patches. I was figuring to leave it. I did not have peace with that decision. Peace returned when I decided I would remove all the concrete from this area and anywhere else I find it. When the yard is clear I will call the rubbish man and have it hauled off. I am resigned to having a large, growing pile of concrete rubble for a year or two. The ability to build what I want in the place of this obsolete concrete is worth the trouble.
The fence has ended the use of this area as a drive. The concrete strip hinders development. With the concrete gone I can develop this area which has splendid morning sun. My fall work plan is to construct a bed along this wall about two feet wide. Included here are improvements around the gate. My improvements will not be of a permanent nature as this wall, and the porch need to be demolished and reconstructed. I will do that when I have the money.
