Demo Day… Part 3

it looks so so bad

there aren't really words…

I am SO excited it's all down..

so thankful for the amazing work 

Mr.T is doing..

God is GREAT to have blessed our family

with 

SUCH a friend!

right there on the bottom left is

the very important well..

we had it fixed

(you may recall THAT was a mess too)

and it will be how we water our animals..

when we have more

than the ducks..

you know..

when all this is cleared.

and we have saved up for 

fencing and shelter

we have plans

in regards to the 

ANIMAL Kingdom

ah..

but for now..

Mr. T 

BUILDS a 

BURN PILE

here you can see..

is the same spot I was standing in at the very beginning of the day

WOW

remember THIS?

SAME spot…

The guys have chopped down, 

and RIPPED up some trees too…

What a difference it is making to the landscape!

The scavengers..

aka 

the BLESSINGS

are hunting for treasures..

They are finding ALL sorts of treasures

buried in this 

insane Archeological build..

and having a BLAST!

check out the very sweet front end of a truck..

blast!

where's the rest???

more treasure..

but 

someone is really distracted!

I can't GET OVER

how cool this is all starting to look..

exciting..

isn't it?

more later!

Demo Day !!!! part 1

Mr. T arrived with 

skidsteer

and he's aiming at the old milk house!

it was too bad we couldn't save it..

but we couldn't

it was a rats nest

wasps

and generally ICKY and UNSAFE

and the best thing about it was the old windows

but even that??

not too great

Time to go!

Out with the Old and Un-recycleable

and time to clear the pallet!

we need to see the landscape to make choices about 

what goes here next!

Aviary?

Hen House?

Wash House?

options options…

Today is DEMO day!

I have got my coffee

and a cozy chair

and am watching from "over there"

he told me to stay out of the way

just wait till the boys come 

it's a DEMO DAY!

things are crashing

breaking all around

you can't even imagine all the sound

check out my ripped up lawn..

that is ok

the yard will live to see 

yet another day

we're smashing

we're crashing

smooshing

pushing

they are watching

not talking

totally amazed

how cool

exciting

what a great day!

did THAT just happen

did really JUST

push the truck out of the way?

he MUST!

he's shoving

and nudging

and clearing his path

it is geometry 

he's doing physical MATH!

it Must be so fun

destroying things in the sun

munching thiings

smathings things

on this Demo day

lifting buildings like a superhero

it's the heart of every boy

how the lads are enjoying 

Mr. T's Toy

the Skid steer 

it is so cool!

what a super terrific tool

it grades

it levels

it utterly destroys

it can rebuild

it's just a great MANs toy!

the boys they LOVE Skid Steer

love to watch it SHOVE and CLEAR

leaning

falling

tilting

oh MY!

Lifting

topsy turvy

where did it go?

it's gone

down 

broken into pieces

so far so good

one down 3 to go..

what a mess..

but soon 

no one will Know!

hope you enjoyed my sad attempt at rhyme

the boys has SUCH a great time

Come back for part 2 of Demo Day

so very much happened!  

Bringing the porch DOWN

ummm

posts & railings are GONE...

where was I?

better go and see the progress so far... 

wow! 

C.S. is really stepping up and helping out Papa

Machine Man is thrilled to have such great helpers!

is it appropriate to say OUCH? 

They are leaving part of the roof on,

so to not damage the actual wall of the house

when rain and weather come... 

it is a 

real 

family effort! 

Even Princess is helping out!

our helper girl

was all dressed and ready to play hide and seek...

nearly done with the flooring 

fun to learn about where the lumber came from 

Friedrich (Frederick) Weyerhäuser (November 21, 1834 in Nieder-Saulheim, Rheinhessen - April 4, 1914 in Pasadena, California^[2]) was a German-American timber mogul and founder of the Weyerhaeuser Company

(Wikipedia) 

Machine Man is getting tired..

this is a "vacation weekend" that he's working on..

I sure hoped we finish it in one day

so he can just

CHILL OUT

and

RELAX 

attractive isn't it? 

nearly done 

wow

now for some clean up...

and some

FOOD! 

here is the farm house

minus

the porch...

all i can think

is how nice it will be when we have 

a nice big new on that sweet farmhouse
