There were no dead bodies under the double-wide, and no cache of Indian artifacts.  What we did find was 4, 66 ft long concrete footers that concrete blocks stood on to hold up the house.  Dad and Matt were breaking them with our tractor and sledge hammers, when an Elk Creek miracle occurred and Jim drove by on the backhoe and dug them out and broke them up for us!!!

We were left with a very heavy pile of concrete debris and had no idea what to do with it.  

Then, the miracle continued when our excavator from up the road offered to take the pieces to widen a section of his road, and sent his dump truck down.

 It was challenging loading the heavy pieces into the bucket of the tractor and getting them into the truck.  The dump truck was 8' high and the tractor bucket goes up 9'.  Slow and steady we got 'er done!

Mom has been attacking the 3 year old pile of compacted topsoil and now finds herself in a precarious predicament!!


Also, still looking at half of crusty!  It's going to be moved "tomorrow"!!!
