Monday was a very eventful day over at Hearthstone! It started out with me picking bags and bags of poison ivy down in the beds by the waterfall. This is quite a process as I have thick gloves on and am double bagging the pulled leaves and roots. I definitely felt like I was making huge strides, until I realized that all these little roots were leading up to one big hairy poison vine. Thankfully, this is in a location that is not easily accessible by people, but nonetheless, we will definitely have to step up our game!
As I'm battling away, I hear a huge commotion down by the road. I figure it was a part of other construction down the street, so I didn't really pay it too much attention. Then a few minutes later, I notice that the noise is getting closer and closer...and suddenly I see the yellow front of a very large construction vehicle come up over the bridge. As I am glancing over my shoulder and trying to see what is going on, I see Dave S. driving this enormous pettibone with Matt hanging on the back. Matt just waves and says, "Hi Brey!" casually as if this is an every day occurrence. :) Here they were so generous to offer us the use of this incredible piece of machinery at Hearthstone! It felt like the beginning of an episode of Extreme House Makeover...although how Dave put it, "It's going to be longer than a week!" This is going to be an enormous help with taking down the top of the house in order to best preserve the stone walls. What a gift! Thank you! Thank you! What an awesome day!
Anne helped deliver!
Rocky read the manual and he and Roger got busy!
We were able to save the steel hardware from the dormer windows. :)
