After
Couldn't have a Father's Day with out a long awaited gift like this! Happy Fathers Day Danny!
Some planting projects got underway and as you can see got out of control!! Hee Hee
We got planters for the entrance on the driveway and filled them with flowers.We repainted the house numbers and reroofed the mail box covers and Tada! We've had these mailbox covers for 30 years but never had a mailbox till now!
Then added some crape myrtles along the side of the driveway to replace the three trees that had insect damage.
Dan and Jason work very hard as the picture never lies!
Dan got to work up in Maine for a month. While up there he took in the sites and met some new co-workers. Being men they toured the man work sites on their weekends off and he wanted to share them with all of you.<
One of Dan 's co-workers, Brian
, is standing next to a D-10 Cat Bulldozer (Man-power) Dan prefers the D-6. Below are pic's of the work site for the windmill project up on Kibby Mountain. The wind turbins are huge and I hope the picutes help you see our tax dollars at work. Ha Ha
This crane is 310' high. Over four stories high.
These are the bases for the towers that hold the blades. The towers are bolted to these bases that are pinned 40' into the ledge.
.
These mamouth blades turn out massive amounts of electricity
The towers with the blades attached stand 380' high
They had to build over 30 MILES of road for the manpower and equipment to get into the mountains of Kibby Mountain in Maine.
Well as we enter year three on the farm, it just wouldn't be complete without getting Danny his long awaited John Deere Tractor. His eyes glassed over while driving by the dealer in town, but I resisted by sitting in the truck, then I got out but I resisted and stood behind the fence. Then he asked me if I,d like to give it a spin. I knew at that moment that it would be going home with us. Hee Hee
