Well, first things first I'm gonna

fix some of the back fence that's all busted up.

Well I didn't know it was.

Yeah, you got a gap in it so the deer

are coming in and eating all the roses.

Plus the gardens all gone to hell.

And then I'm gonna cut back some of this growth

because the next storm that comes through

could do some serious damage to the tree line.

You don't need to do all this.

Well somebody's got to do it brother 'cause you ain't.

It's not necessary.

Figure I gotta pull my weight somehow so.

I'll jump on this, and you go back to work or do whatever.

Need some help?
