What have I been doing?
Well, our project for March (besides the usual ranch stuff, painting the girls' rooms and making room for baby Sam) was moving a little house to the property.
Sounds easy, right?
This little cabin was 12x15. Not a big house, so with the help of a friend's backhoe, the plan was to lift the house, back my trailer, set down the house and keep it under 80 on the way home. Hold up cowboy. Watch out for the sidewalk. Oh yes, there is a septic tank 10 feet on the other side. And also 20 crepe myrtles all surrounding our house.
Well, after the backhoe was not going to lift the house from one side successfully (at least without crushing in one side) we decided a little help was needed with a Bobcat, which did the trick. I only hit a few limbs on the way home, but I noticed a few dozen angry drivers behind me as I turned on Watterson Rd. Anyway we made it, and thanks to Rob and Sherry, Dal and Daniel for all the help. And also David Mcadams for solving the mystery of the tripping breaker. We Think we'll use it as a guest room/B&B/Scott's doghouse(haha) or something . Anyway, we are just about through and as you can see,
Trina did the interior design. All we need is a name, so if anybody could suggest something catchy...
