We started our building project yesterday morning. Ed was gone on his National Guard drill. The equipment was here, Kenny (the one who knew what he was doing) was here, the helpers were here (thanks so much!) but we still hadn't been able to move the fifth wheel. Kenny's wife Alyssa, and I went to a neighbor's house a few blocks away. We noticed that he had the same type of fifth wheel we had. He graciously agreed to move it for us but couldn't do it right away. So we got started on our project later than we had expected.
Here is our house a few hours before the dig and this is our fifth wheel being moved!
The initial dig was shallow so we could give the sod to some friends.
At first we had to haul the dirt in wheelbarrows to a trailer parked on the street.
To expedite, the rest of the gate was taken down and the trailer brought to the back.
We also had to wait around a lot since Kenny had to haul the stuff and he was the only one who knew what he was doing.
Kenny and Alyssa's kids with a worm. The soil is so good here, Kenny sold some of it to help pay for our project. We got 2/3 done so still had to rent the equipment for another day. One couple who were helping gave us $300. With that and the money from the soil, we were able to rent the trailer and the machine for one more day. Isn't that great how God provides? I plan to put a picture of the finished project in this blog when it is done.
