I met with the Doctor today, and he has given me the all-clear to get back to work. I am still going to hire the mowing done one more time, but hope to be back doing some things around the property this week.
Last week I met with the city engineers and inspectors to discuss the water run-off situation to the south of the property. I am waiting on a response from them with a recommended plan of action. They raised a concern that just putting in a retaining wall would create a waterfall effect going down the hill during rain. They suggested that there also needs to be some kind of drainage area created that would direct the water to the west and down the hill. As soon as I have their report I will let you know.
I haven't had any luck finding someone to sweep the excess rock off the driveway. In the next couple weeks I will be renting a "Power Sweeper" to see if that will be enough to brush the rock off the central drive. I am hoping to collect all the excess rock along the pad at the south end of the property to help keep the water from creating even more erosion.
I am also going to be working on filling in the erosion areas on the hillside on the west side of the property. My plan is to fill that area in with some rock and topsoil, and plant grass to keep the soil in place. I need to wait until a little drier weather so that I can control how much water the grass is getting.
I will be delivering my monthly letters and deposit slips later this week. Thanks to everyone for your timely rent payments. It really helps when everyone makes their deposits directly into the accounts.
