Been working on dispersing the dirt pile since about 9 or 9:30 this morning. Not done yet.
I was making good time at first, while it was cool enough and humidity was higher. Now it's above 90 and humidity basically nonexistent. As it got hotter, I slowed down to moving 10-15 buckets and taking a break to cool off, then move more. However, just now I moved maybe 3 buckets and got really tired. Oh, there was also a slight breeze this morning which helped. Now the air is dead still.
I did get down to the level where I am hitting concrete from the driveway and old grass coming through on the side. All told, I've moved well over a ton of dirt. Probably over 2 tons.
Yes, I admit that this pile was one of the dumbest ideas I ever had.
Any way, have to come in, cool off and get back to that this evening.
So, transferring efforts inside until later. Even that is going to wait until I cool off more.
