Backhoe's are wonderful pieces of equipment...my hubby loves his...I love that he loves it. :D I always mix up the levers when I use it so I'm happy to let hubby have the fun of using it instead of me. :D
Now when he gets the bulldozer working I'm going to give it a try but I doubt it will be a long one because I don't imagine riding a bulldozer will do my bad back any good. :D Still, its a bulldozer and who wouldn't want to ride/use one for just a few minutes at least. :D
I love seeing the progress of your homestead. I kind of wish that I'd kept a video log or pictures of ours along the way but I never even thought of blogging before I joined steemit and hind sight is always 20/20. I'm trying to learn from that mistake and take more pictures and videos for my blog...I just need to find an easy editing/posting program to get the ones I've got in here someday. :D
Thanks for sharing so much of your journey with us. Have an awesome day! :D
