WORK!!

I went and helped Ron and Mary plant 8 big trees on their property this morning.  George and Susan also helped.  thank goodness for the tractor.  those trees were very heavy and awkward.  Plus it was very warm and the bugs were out.
The previous owners of the property cut down all the trees around the house and toward the road.  The placement of these trees will provide some privacy and cut down on the traffic noise (not that there is a lot of traffic on 129)
Plus Ron got 6 loads of our dirt as well to help him with a bit more landscaping.

And Terry and Bruce finished up our trailer pad today.  57 big dump truck loads later...we still have a lot of fill left but we used quite a chunk out of our pile.  Never realized how deep the dirt was.  We now have to level it out and remove some big rocks.  We will get a load of gravel to spread over the pad and  get some grass seed down the sides.  The guys had a good routine going.  Terry waited at the fill and loaded the dump truck and Bruce drove over and dumped it and Rejean smoothed and levelled it out in time for Bruce to arrive with another full load.  All day yesterday and until 3pm today.  I couldn't watch as I was certain someone was going to go over the edge or tip the truck or tractor.  Never happened - but it could have!!  Now we have to get the trailer over from the other property and clean and wax it before we put it on the pad.  Ron will be over to dig us a trench for the electrical and water to the trailer.  And then voila - our new bunkie!!
