So I was doing some lawn maintenance yesterday in the backyard, and when the bag on the mower gets full, I need to empty it in the trash can that is in front of the side yard. Sounds like a quick walk yes? Well the yard can is in front of my Toy Hauler and it is a tight squeeze getting past the house and the trailer. That got me thinking, do any of you guys have as tight a spot to back your rigs down as I do? I thought I would post a few shots of the wiggle room I have when taking and putting away my trailer and boat (the boat is easier).
To start off, Here is a shot of part of my yard. You can see the back-end of the trailer and the boat behind it. Normally the trailer is sitting where the boat is during the summer but we have not had the opportunity to take the boat out this year, so I did not swap them.
Here is Billy Idol getting his exercise. He can run better now that the grass is not taller then him...
So here are some shots of the back looking toward the front.
So you're thinking, "Hey CDA, you have plenty of room on the house side, just tuck it in more toward the house" Well sounds good, but have this little meter I have to keep an eye on. My buddy works for the Gas Company and we replaced the old unit with a new one and tucked it in a little. It use to stick out 3" pass the gas pipe going in to the ground. Before we moved that, I had nothing to work with, but we made it happen...
Here are some shots from the front end looking back. Notice how much room my neighbor has for his RV? I have tried to get him to let me move the wall 6" into his yard, but that would cause a nightmare when one of us tries to move.
The best part is that when I come off the street I cannot see the wall, so 2 way radios and an excellent navigator (my wife) in the back yard and it gets down there. Of course when I start this process all my neighbors have to come out and watch and everybody decides to drive up and down the street as I am blocking it...
So if you have cool storage like I do, post it up or you can post up the nice room you have to park your Chit just to make me feel better..
