Autobots, Roll Out!

Today I spent two and a half hours outside using the pressure washer to clean off the backhoe. The backhoe was greasy and oily with years and years of yucka all over it. I went out there to see how to make that pressure washer work, and before I knew it there I was...abandoned. Everyone went inside and there I was. I decided to go to town and make it as clean as I thought I could. I didn't feel like I was under the beating sun because the back spray from the pressure washer was spraying all over me cooling me down. The large chunks of tar and grease bouncing off and flying into my hair were also a distraction as to how much time I had spent out there. Now I am suffering from heat exhaustion and thinking to myself after we get the house built it will not be so hot, it will be cooler and less days of heat exhaustion.
It was very satisfying to see the dirt and grime disappear and see the bright yellow paint shine through. I had a few minutes to myself to let my imagination run wild and I decided that our dump truck and our backhoe together would be an excellent Transformer. I tried to imagine the fun Autobot that our two vehicles would make crushing the Decepticons with the large digging bucket. Then I thought, this is probably weird. I'm imagining a Transformer out of my backhoe and my dump truck, then I realized I passed weird a long time ago and the simple fact that I can say "my backhoe and my dump truck" puts me in a category with very few people. So, imagination gone wild I feel our Autobot would be called Digger (because Dump-hoe didn't sound kid friendly) and he would crush several lower level Decepticons at one time, however, Megatron is out of his league because, well, let's face it Optimus Prime is the bomb! :)

Before...

After...

Now that I see these two pictures together there's not that much difference...however, in person there is a significant difference and plus, I know I worked really hard!



Anyways, my DH will hopefully be taking Digger up to the property tonight. He has to drive the dump truck up there at night because there is no air conditioning and he also wants to prevent overheating since the dump truck hasn't proven its abilities to us yet with a long trip. Digger will be delivered to his home and start working very soon.

I'm going to send my camera up with my DH so he can take a picture of Digger and I am sure that his golden yellow will be beautiful against the scenery on the property. Throughout the next two weeks we are hauling all of the big items that we will need to get things moving up at the property. So far this includes, Digger, a 25 foot chicken coop, three 275 gallon containers to use for septic for the RV, a storage container, a 10,000 gallon water storage tank, two quads, ten horse panels for a corral, a trampoline, outdoor furniture, and a lot of tools.

I can definitely say that we are on our way! God has opened up so many doors and I know that we are just beginning to see the miracles and wonders that God can do.  We are definitely feeling like things are going to be changing on the property. I can't wait to start showing you pictures of the property and the changes that happen!!
