Get the backhoe!
What a difference a backhoe makes, and strong, capable friends! Thirty wheelbarrow loads into "do-it-myself-ism" and my knees
informed me that I'm not in my 20's anymore. I listened (unlike in my 20's), asked for help, and Bishop
and ol' Bessie came to the rescue.
This, after also realizing — painfully so in yet other ways — that my original efforts at digging a bermed foundation were all for
naught in the original location due to ensuing water problems after recent
rains. Much thanks to those rains
for inspiring me to move the location before doing even more work! And thanks to Bishop's expertise and
experience, a new location for the building was found, and Bessie made
quick work of a raised foundation (PLUS a terraced garden, PLUS a pond!). I've learned some valuable lessons
about my limits, and made some great friends in the process!
NOW, "B is for BOX" folks — the new
shape of the building — and for BACKHOE! We're keeping it simple here on in,
okay? No more letter-shaped abodes
for awhile! I'll leave the
creativity to words and not buildings (well...uh....I might want to make a
bottle window, and ... er ... how about rounded doors, sculpted shelving,
and...hmmm....)
Sounds great! Hope the new spot and the building goes well. It was great to get to talk to you last weekend and to hear that AMAZING story you read! Bravo!
