Pre-Move Survey and Yardwork

Today I had the last pre-move survey with a representative of Crown Relocations. The appointment was at 10 am and I was pretty sure that the representative would be late. Most of the people trying to get to our house get either lost or are very confused with the dirt road. To my surprise the Rep. found the house without any problems and was on time as well. We made the walk trough and I pointed out the pieces that I plan on relocating. The survey didn't take long and by the end of this week or the beginning of next week I should have a binding quote. After I have that quote I will have until the end of June to decide which relocation company is going to get the contract. Right now I'm quite torn when it comes to that question.
After the survey I went outside to do some more yard work. I started to whack down the weeds between the garage and the house. Got about 2/3 done when I the battery ran out. Unfortunately I forgot to plug in the second batter pack. So there wasn't much I could do. So I decided to pull the weeds on the west facing slope instead. Got about half of the hill done, when I suddenly felt like passing out. So I took a break, went inside and cooled down in front of the fan with the AC running. Not quite sure what brought that on. I couldn't have been dehydrated since I had been drinking enough. The only thing I can think of is, that it was the heat...since it was the first time this year, that I did yard work with the temps in the 90's. And of course wearing a long sleeve shirt as protection against the weeds wasn't helpful with the heat either.
Later in the afternoon I went back out again. I was hoping that it would have already cooled down a little. Turns out that didn't quite happen, but parts of the west facing slope had already shade. Working in the shade is way more comfy then when the sun is burning down on you. I spent a little over 1 hour and then the west facing slope was once again free of second-generation weeds.
So all in all a quite productive day!!
