Pieter Using the DR Trimmer Mower with Beaver Blade and String

On December 20 of 1995 I did make a video when Pieter again did use the DR Trimmer Mower with Beaver Blade at first and changing to String.
So finally the remaining wilderness succumbed!
Tackling such a reclaiming job, you need some special equipment so Pieter got himself this DR Trimmer Mower
Short video and with clickable points when viewed on YouTube direct.
This is what Pieter was using...
First in video he shows the use of the Beaver Blade for tougher things and latet with the strings as seen clearly in video.

  3. Hello Mariette, I wonder if Pieter didn't tackle that project partly as an excuse to buy and use exotic tools, build fires, etc. Let's face it, DIY projects can be a lot of work, but are also fun. I know that I often longingly look at the specialty tools in the hardware store and try to find some excuse to buy them--I usually don't need all that much convincing!

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Well, we got the adjacent lot just for pure privacy reasons. But sure did not realize enough that 'aging' will put a halt to all that. Pieter always loved any tool and he never shunned hard work. It has been rewarding!
      Hugs,

  4. .....and I thought Bob pushing the regular lawn mower was hard enough!!!!! Pieter certainly had a huge project there, perhaps a John Deere farm tractor should have been on his wish list, lol!
    No rain coming our way - off to water with the hoses this morning to try to keep things growing.
    Hugs - Mary

    1. Dearest Mary,
      There was no way a big John Deere could have been used there with all the trees and holes etc. In the end after grading it, yes it could have been used!
      Pushing a regular lawn mower on level grass, not on a big surface is doable.
      Thursday it is said to rain with thunder here for an entire week... We'll see!
      Hugs,

      Well, the end was in sight though...!
      It was very hard work and for getting it all done the right way, you ought to do it yourself.

      Ja, dat was een mega klus om dat stuk grond als àllereerste bewoners te ontginnen.

  10. Dearest Mariette,
    I cannot but admire Pieter for all his gardening skills (and not only!) and for the hard work he has done for your house and land!
    Many hugs and keep safe with the coming bad weather!!!

    1. Dearest Marie-Anne,
      Thank you and like you write here, I too admire him. A lot of willpower for getting it done and doing it very well.
      With our worldwide consulting, our home and garden were always pushed onto the waiting list... no time for doing sooner!
      Then, finally we could sit down and write and self publish our book about modern mushroom growing 2020 harvesting.
      So glad it got all done!
      Hugs and yes, I had to drive home in heavy rain for one hour, coming back from Atlanta with Pieter...

  11. It is important for a person to be able to pick up a machine and do the work themselves.
