The saving grace to our ability to move forward in this project was our backhoe. We bought it used – still expensive, but we would have had to pay someone to remove all of the stumps. When I say all of the stumps, I mean hundreds and hundreds. At this point we hadn’t paid anyone for anything, and just the two of us had done the work. This is how we roll. So we bought it. I thought it was kind of silly, but I can honestly say that we would never have made it through the project without it. It did even more for us than we were expecting at the time. I love the picture with the sunlight beaming down. That was pretty much how it was. Without that backhoe – we would not have the Red Tail Ranch. Her are just a few pictures of her in action.
