Last spring, we discovered a mini-landfill on our property. Somehow we hadn't noticed it when we bought our house, or else we assumed it was on the neighboring property since it was right next to our property lines. I'm not sure how we missed it. After contacting our neighboring farmer, we were assured that it certainly was ours. The previous owners had filled this hole with garbage and then continued throwing garbage on a cement slab next to it. At some point, they'd put dead fall over top of both piles. It was a mess!
We took some pictures last summer, but were afraid to burn it because it was right next to our line of trees.
A few weeks ago, we started looking at it again and decided cleaning it up was our next project. Here's another before shot of just the pit.
Jim decided to burn smaller isolated piles on the cement slab in order to clear enough space that we could avoid a fire hazard. This was our last pile on the slab.
Once the slab was sufficiently cleared and we'd moved the excess into the hole, we started burning the rest of it.
That was a HOT fire!
Now we just need to fill in that hole! Yay!
