Loads of work

That's Ray on the tractor, and just part of the stuff we brought out to put around the place -- pool, summer house, veranda.

Most of the greenhouse was cleaned out by this point -- the "smaller" plants like 6-foot bananas -- in five or six other full flatbeds. This load was mostly from winter storage in the workshop, most notably the rubber tree and the two big plumerias.

We hired two strong guys for a few days' help with the project, but even that didn't keep us from falling asleep exhausted with very sore backs.
