The Grading Is In

Posted on July 6, 2020December 15, 2025 By stega

With all the work we’ve done in the last few years, the front section of the “RV pad” had taken a bit of a beating. Eighteen-wheelers using it to turn about, the work to the area just north of it when we sifted the driveway spoils–it was time to patch things up. I called the place where we bought the drain rock for the Great Wall project, and they were more than happy to deliver some rocks when they brought up a few yards of sand for the revamp of the water main. So when things were a bit quiet here, I spent ninety minutes in Giggles the skidsteer and graded it out.

It’s so nice having our own equipment. Not having to call a rental outfit, schedule in something and pay a lot of money–let’s just say, even with Agent Smith having to do maintenance on things, we get 100 times more done here when we can just walk out, buckle up and go. Bonus: if a delivery arrives on a truck without a lift gate, we can easily handle things. That always puts a smile on the delivery person’s face.

For new readers: last pic is Giggles. We love her.
