Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

I can't get the well lid to move at all even with truck and towstrap or jumping on it. It's solid concrete with only a 2" hole in the middle. Not a safety issue for the kids. One of the edge bricks is gone and I fed a rock on a rope down. It went about 12ft before it hit and came up dry.

The propane tank is super old and under the drip ring of the gigantic leaning cedar at the front of the property. The tank is about 5ft behind portapotty in the picture below. I'm not sure I can get it up without ruining enough roots to topple the already leaning tree into the power lines. That is why I was going to back fill it with dirt so it can't collapse and call it good.

So there may have been a house on the land at one point.

No "may" about it! No one is going to bury a large propane tank for an occasional weekend tent site. Now you need to find the foundation.

You have accessed the situation and made the best decision. Kudos for you.

So Cassandra wants to do fancy chickens with 4H. We are getting 10 hens and 5 straight run Speckled Sussex on April 5th.
We are going to build a chicksaw and rotate them through pastures after the sheep.

Speckled Sussex are beautiful chickens.

Spot is getting big! He's 47.6lbs at 51 days old. I'm going to try and record him with KHSI as a commercial ramling stud.

I need to start thinking about weaning process. I hope he can go in with Snip and Panda. Otherwise, I'll need to figure out a third pen.
