the shop, continued

this past saturday, we had a dump truck hauling and dumping dirt, while ben and sean were running equipment; ben on the dozer and sean on the compactor.  our place was like bob's building yard - jack was in heaven!  he couldn't get enough of the equipment.  i know the two big kids probably could have gotten the job done a lot faster without all of jack's "help," but it probably wouldn't have been nearly as fun.  right?  they are both very patient men.  bless them.

at once, we had the following on our lot:

bulldozer

compactor

dump truck

excavator

line truck & trailer

(and, let's not forget the cozy coupe & tonka truck)

the only ride missing was a loader.  and funny enough, jack was the one to alert us all.  

where's da yeddow yoader at?

the kid doesn't miss a thing.

from 7 am until almost 6 in the evening, the guys worked on the pad.  it really looks great.  the drainage ditch was extended because the driveway needed to be widened.  the dirt was compacted and smoothed.  and on sunday, ben was able to convince a friend to come over and set up the boards for the foundation - that will be poured this weekend!  did you ever think concrete could be so exciting?!
