America runs on ... trucks and machines

The ad says America runs on Dunkin' Donuts. But it really runs on trucks and machines. Today we have eight work streams all at once (fence, septic, grading, masonry, patio, courtyard, landscape, and propane) - it is a bit chaotic here! Here are pictures of all the trucks and machines.
After the trucks leave, we'll post how the landscape is changing.

Demolition derby

Today we'll have two blogs - one from three days ago, and one from today. Three days ago the excavators demolished the old barn. Susie, Matt and their children came to see the show. Here is a "before:" As they started, Ella and Pop Pop went up by the road to see the work - others stayed in front of the old barn. Here's a video of the start. Ella asks, "When's that one (the new barn) done? "Maybe more about a month." replied Pop Pop. Here they finished the top floor. Working on the lower floor, the back hoe lifts the roof/floor. Finally, it's all over. So ... here are "after" views from the house and road.
We're getting closer to the end line. I just looked at the "preview" and can't get the videos to work. Hopefully, there is a fix.
