The Rumble Is Over. Now Our Real Work Begins

Good morning. It's the week after the rumble has ended. We had the weekend to like slowly decompress and figure out our next steps. Well we're still figuring out our next steps but today everybody's here because it's Tuesday and nobody's working today so here's what we've got to do. We have a whole list of things that we need to do. We have equipment that we need to get back to neighbors. The scaffolding, the tractor, the boom lift got picked up yesterday so that's no longer here. We just have a lot of things that we need to get done in order to return things back to their owners. So first up we need to move some AB mix. We also need to move a bunch of sand over to the goat barn and some other things but we'll get into that as we go. So come along. It's going to be a fun productive morning. So we've actually started moving some AB mix over here in our courtyard. We need to put more over here so that we can level this ground and then we're going to borrow a pneumatic tamper and get this all leveled out so that we don't have to worry about that anymore for now. While we have the tractor let's go ahead and get a couple more loads over here and then it'll just be ready to go. We don't have to worry about it. And then we need to get that AB mix over to the back gate because Trona keeps escaping and we think that's how she's getting out. So we'll see if that fixes it. It's something about the curves on all these walls. When I'm not right next to the tractor it looks like she's going to run into the walls every time and it freaks me out. So I'm watching very closely but I want her to have that independence to like know that she can do this because she can. It's just a tricky balance of like not being overbearing letting her do her thing and learn as she goes but also just watching out make sure no one runs into the house. Since moving here five and a half years ago animals have always been in the picture. We've and there may even be a new animal coming soon. Having so many animals out on the homestead and living so far away from town makes vet visits nearly impossible. So I'm so excited to tell you about today's video sponsor Dutch.

What a beautiful world, what a beautiful world That I'm living in, that I'm living in What a beautiful world, what a beautiful world That I'm living in, being with you We've got forever, so who needs time Every moment with you feels so sublime And if I could, I wouldn't change a thing Being here with you, yeah it feels like a dream What a beautiful world, what a beautiful world That I'm living in, that I'm living in Double wheel, wheelbarrow, baby What a beautiful world, that I'm living in Well this was not my idea, this was Adelaide's idea. We had a bunch of sand left over from our bench project that we're not gonna be able to finish yet so Adelaide's like why don't we just put it in the goat barn and then like in the goat paddock and maybe this would help her clean the poop easier, make it tidier, I don't know. Why did you want the sand in here anyway? I think it would be more sanitary. Less dusty I guess. Less dust, easier to clean and I think it'll help with flooding. Okay we'll see and we always have we have extra so if we want to do it to the other paddock we can. Do you want to do that today or no? I think I want to see what they do in here first. Okay see how the cats treat it, how Trona treats it. It's gonna be this will probably be the last day with the tractor. This wheelbarrow is gonna take a long time. We have other tractor work to do. Yeah, do you want me to fix the driveway? Maybe yeah let's go. Baby mix? Let's look at it When we come in there's a slight dip here and every single time it rains we have to drive through it and it gets deeper and deeper every year. I would say it's not a slight ditch anymore. It's pretty deep and that holds water for quite a while so we have all that extra AB mix right now so I'm thinking they should move some of where it's not going to be enough but hopefully it could just make it less deep. Yep. Do you want to, do you want me to do that? Do it. I'll film it and I'll break it. You haven't used a tractor very much. Do you want to do it? No not at this point. Okay I was glad that you said that because I wanted to do it. All right it is finally time. It's time to take apart the scaffolding and return it to our neighbors who let us borrow it for this roundhouse rumble. It's pretty sad. I think I've been really kind of sad for the last week ever since when the walls are done. It's like you have all this adrenaline and you're getting it done and it's really exciting and then it stops and everybody leaves and you don't know what to do and we're just kind of in this awkward stage of like what we do next and if we can do the next part. Anyway it's just really kind of sad but anyway we're going to go ahead and take apart the scaffolding and get it ready to take back to the neighbors who so graciously let us borrow it. So thank you Jim and Pam. We really appreciate it. We're also taking their tractor back. Sad day. Now that we have the truck loaded the next step is we are taking two of the scaffolding back to Steve because he let us borrow them for the month and he needs to put up Christmas lights so we're getting those back to him as soon as we can. First I need to go fill up his diesel can and I've already filled up the tractor so should be good there. One thing I forgot to do. The boom lift got picked up the other day and I forgot to top off the diesel tank so we got charged an extra $70. Oh it made me so mad because first of all it was a fortune to rent the thing. I know it wasn't $70 worth of diesel that needed to be put in there so it just made me a little angry but it's okay whatever. It's my fault. I should have checked it but tractor's filled up. I'm gonna fill up Steve's diesel can get all that back to him so let's just get it all done. Next up we're out here at the barn because we have an addition that we need to put on next to the goat area so I'm gonna clear this a little bit of grass, trim up a couple little sapling trees that are very tiny but in the way and then we can add on. I'm excited to show you what it is but um it was a little uh last minute if you will. That's kind of how we roll but that's okay. Everything's gonna be great. I'm very excited about it. We just need to clean it up and get it ready. All right so we're up in Phoenix. No where are we? Tucson. We're in Tucson and we're taking apart some panels to uh you know set up at our place.
