Fairwell Tacky Trailer

hooked up!!

never thought I'd see the TT THAT close to the porch

It's ready to go

backing it up the path

going past BNOE barn

going across the second pasture

The truck was stuck...now what? 

stuck in the muck!

On the road again

Pine needles flying off the roof

The empty hole

While JR left with the porch, the other guys started prepping the TT to move.  They had to replace an axle and then put all the tires on it.  After lunch, it was ready to move.  It was just amazing how JR got that trailer out of the hole without having to cut down a single tree.  Even the tree that was right up against the kitchen window.  The hard part was backing it up the path way to Charlotte and Raimey's.  Every foot or so, they had to stop and trim the tree branches so it would fit.  That took a couple of hours.  We thought it was home free once they backed it into the pasture and turned it to go past the BNOE barn and out the other pasture, to the road.  ....BUT....the culvert to the road was very narrow and it had rained last weekend.  That meant the pasture was really wet.  Yep...you guessed it!  The moving truck got stuck!!!  No problem. ..ha.  They had the wrecker truck, so they pulled the steel cable out of the front of that truck, ran it under the TT and hooked it to the back of the other truck.  Then pulled!  Out of the mud it came.  Next was to come up with how they were going to get this big truck and the TT over the small culvert without getting stuck again.  They put down everything they had in both trucks in the mud so they wouldn't sink again.  It worked!  Two hours later, the TT was being pulled past our mailbox and the carpet of pine needles were flying off the roof of it left and right.  As I stood there and watched it being pulled away until I couldn't see it any more, I didn't feel sad as I thought I would. I even felt great full that it was gone.   It was one of the best times in my life but there are more great things to come.
