The Siftanator

Matt joined me and Todd today. We tried out the siftanator for the first time. Todd helped me build a contraption to sift the rocks out of the dirt. It took two days to build and 20 minutes to break down. It worked pretty good tumbling about 30 lbs of dirt at time. Major dust! We'll have to make sure the wind is blowing the right way so as to not bother the neighbors. The breakdown was minor, design flaw. Just need to add a couple of screws to hold the screen in place.

The Siftanator

Todd handled the siftanator while Matt and I worked the palm stump front. This is war! We got it down to where we wanted. We were interrupted by a blue hornet. It landed on the sidewalk then squirmed into a crack. The crack was promptly covered with dirt. Not sure what possesses boys to do stuff like that, but I'm sure there's a reason.
