After months of inactivity, February was the month of much change. Feb 4 APS came out setting off the final phase of our project so we ordered 16 ton of rock delivered on Friday Feb 5. We quickly realized we could not move it all in many days so Larry called about renting a Bobcat and we were very blessed as he called at 2 PM and we had the Bobcat delivered by 3PM! Normally everything is already reserved on Fridays for the weekend since the rental place is not open on the weekends the equipment is for all weekend so that's three days of use for the price of one day. With Vince and Dawn's help we were able to get all the rock spread by Sunday afternoon AND were able to move the motorhome back onto the pad under our new RV cover! I'm SO glad to be back 'in place' and out of the front yard!! Monday morning the rental place called to see if we still wanted them to pick the Bobcat up and that it would be around 1 PM before they would come so Larry decided to rent a trailer from Home Depot to take the yard trash (cut from around the east wall with the Bobcat on Sunday and racked into a pile) to the dump, saying loading the trailer with the Bobcat would be easier than doing it by hand. The rental fellow arrived early as we were still using it to load the trailer and he asked if he should come back later and we'd be charged for an additional day. We said no he could have it. Then he did a wonderful thing for us. He got into the Bobcat and finished loading the trailer and then drove off with it to load it up for return! We thanked him many times. Next it was off to the dump where we waited in line for 45 minutes just to get in. Then we had to unload the trailer which was a job and a half. We were so tired as we had worked all weekend and then Monday morning without breakfast getting the debris out of the trailer was almost more than we could do. All of a sudden two fellows from the landscaping company to the right of us who were also emptying their trailer came over with a blower on one fellow's back and the other had a broom and they finished cleaning out the trailer for us!
How very wonderful of them we couldn't thank them enough and when I went to get them some money from the truck, they were gone having left immediately after their good deed. As a result of their good deed we were able to get the trailer back within four hours so didn't have to pay for a full day's rental. Another big Praise the Lord!
Once again Larry removed the tires from his Man Cave so it is easier for him to get in and out of it and he bought cinder blocks to put around the bottom of the trailer (Man Cave) to help keep the wind out as well as critters.
I got ambitious and washed the MH using waterless car wash since it was so yucky and discovered in a wind storm Saturday Feb 21 both slide toppers had ripped so we are getting an estimate to have them repaired.
We also ordered two sheds, his and hers, and Larry picked them up Thursday Feb 25 and we finished putting one of them together Saturday February 27. It took us two days and was a challenge but we should get the next one done faster since we now know what NOT to do!
Also on Saturday the 27, our Granddaughter Cerét, her husband Alen, Calvin, Anna and niece Millie (three of our great grandkids) came for a visit. It was great seeing them again and meeting Anna for the first time.
February is a short month but we really got a lot done and are so grateful for all the help and are thankful to God for His provisions and love!
