Sir Henry,

As soon as I read 16 tons this song leapt to mind.

That is why I said 16 tons. The truck can only carry about 12-14 tons

Meanwhile back at the ranch.......

This is the angle of the land I needed to use to back the trailer into its final resting spot. I was afraid it would tip over so I had to level it. Here the gator is earning its keep. I’ll be removing the gravel and dirt between the top and bottom. There she sets. It still needs to be leveled and the rock foundation put under it.

Lookn' good Gene. Looks like some hard work though. Careful moving/shoveling all that stone! You have a wonderful looking and functional home.

Thanks Mark. It’s a labor of love. Sometimes I think I should have sold the house and moved into an apartment. But then I think about the day it’s finished and that keep me going.

In the last four years I have moved 80 ton of rock and about 40 yards of gravel.

Yes...enjoy the fruits of your labor! I would opt for the same!
Just be good to your body.

In the past I would just keep working till I couldn’t lift a finger. Now I know when to stop and take a rest. And by rest I’m talking two days not 15 minutes.

Coming together nicely, i sure like the looks of that vintage trailer. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Thanks. The trailer is a highly collectible one piece fiberglass body with no fender flairs. It also has tandem axles.

That was a lot of hard work!
