Had some time to go out to the pond and work on Christmas Eve. The previous owner left a lot of 2' tall stumps that resprouted right where I want to build, and half were thorny bodark with thorny vines all in them
. At least these are not as bad as 16" x 4' tall elms with 20' tall stump sprouts on the other shore. Foundation is next now that I can mow
.
Peninsula halfway done:
Peninsula after:
View from site, still need to mow:
