Success!
What a huge blessing! After about six hours of driving, we made it to our location in Oklahoma! There, in the field was the gift, just waiting for me! If you saw my previous post, you know that @bluerthangreen and @papa-pepper were heading out to receive a blessing from another steemian today!
A beautiful 22 foot wide and 60 foot long greenhouse was just gifted to the @papa-pepper tribe by @weetreebonsai! Can you believe it? I hardly can. It was well worth the trip and work to receive such a blessing!
GET IT DOWN AND LOADED
Soon we were hard at work. The sun had rose and the day was getting warmer. The work not all that difficult, but we had the right tools for the job. With three support beams and thirteen ribs to disassemble, we got to work!
Taking down the frame went smoothing. Working together as a team we quickly found our rhythm and started getting the pieces loaded. Thankfully the pickup and dump trailer was the perfect choice for transport too!
With two minds to come up with the best plans and two capable individuals to get the job done, it actually took less time that I had planned. We have learned often enough to always budget extra time if need be, so at least we get to start our trip back in the sunshine.
HMMMM.... WHAT ABOUT THE FOOTINGS?
We had two options with these. The pipe to hold the greenhouse still was secured to the earth with concrete footers poured around it. Cutting the metal off at ground level could get the job done, but the pipe would be short and the mess that we left behind would not be the best.
As you can see in the photo above, we chose to uproot the entire footings, concrete and all. We then filled in the holes and tidied things up. As I looked at the loaded trailer, of course I rejoiced at the blessing that I had just received, but I realized that I forgot something.
That's better! I can't forget to load up my helper, @bluerthangreen! His family would not be too impressed with me. Plus, I have the impression that he'll come in handy later.
Please join me in thanking @weetreebonsai! This was an amazing gift and such a blessing to receive. I am so blessed to know you and glad that steemit has been used to bring us together! Thanks Sister!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
