Trailers & Tractors

Ugh! I did it again! I haven't posted in over a month! Sorry to everyone. Anyways, on to what we have been doing up at the property.

On February 7th Dad, Mike and I went up to the property to set the posts for the gate. We measured it out and were all ready to go. We had the auger in the truck and when we went to start it, it wouldn't start! So after toying with it for a good half hour Dad decided to start digging it by hand while Mike continued trying to fix the auger. Unfortunately, the auger never started. Dad & Mike dug the holes for the posts by hand through all the rock. But at the end of the day we had the posts set and had done a good days work.



Then we finally bought a trailer to keep up at the property! As Rachel & Marissa stated when we first brought it home..."it is like the 70s crawled in there and bred!" We spent a week cleaning it up and towed it up to the property! This past Tuesday Mike and Dad went up to move it to behind the house and level it out.



We also brought a tractor up...it is a nice green John Deere Rachel & I got to actually drive it and it so fun!!!

This weekend I took out more cross fencing, Dad finished taking all the insulation and sheetrock out of the house and Rachel sat in the trailer reading. We might be doing a fencing project next weekend! Yay for fencing! Hopefully soon we'll hook electrical and septic to the trailer. Everything is coming along nicely! Hope everyone is doing great!!!
