today i became an expert at using a circular saw.

here's how:

back in august jeremiah and i dug up a patch a ground for a garden.

well it turns out that patch of ground is also a mini swamp which is in no way a suitable place for little seedlings.

so this morning we woke up on a mission to solve that problem. 

the end result was six raised beds made out of bamboo.

besides there being a mini swamp on the property, there is also a bamboo forest.

i spent most of the day cutting bamboo into four foot poles while jeremiah constructed the beds.

we are pretty happy with the end product! 

i hope to get them filled with soil this coming week and maybe get a few early spring crops started as well. 

p.s. go heels!
