Our First Porch




The steps Chuck slid off of when they were covered in ice


The trailer to carry the porch away


Taking the supports off of the porch




Ready to go



Just the Tacky Trailer again.




We sold the Tacky Trailer!!!  We told Raimey to get the word out that the TT was for sale.  I think it only took a week or so and we got a phone call asking about the TT.  Two guys came out to look at it, paid us a deposit to hold it and said they would be back in a couple of days with the rest of the money.  We suggested that they call JR to move it out of here.  He was the one that parked it smack dab up against the trees in the hole in the woods that we made, eight years ago.  The same day the guys left the deposit, JR came out to look at the situation.  He said he wished he had known that the TT was for sale.  If the deal fell through with the other guys, JR said he would buy it from us.  Then, he offered us money for the porch to it since we were going to have to take it down.  This was great!  It saved Chuck a lot of back breaking work of taking the porch all apart.  Soooooo....Thursday morning around 9:00 am, JR shows up with his crew and starts getting the porch off and ready to move.  By noon, the porch was on the trailer that JR had brought to haul it away with.  Man! that little porch sure made a difference in the look of the TT.  It was like it added a room to it.  Many hours were spend on that porch.  What memories we have.  In the freezing cold to talk on our phones to waiting early mornings with our coffee for the construction guys to show up to build the house.  Then there were the many meals we ate out there and getting George kitty to come to us for the first time.  I'm so glad to have pictures of it all.  Like I said, " what happy memories" we have.
