The Big Yellow Backhoe has arrived

And it is BIG!

Around 4:30pm today, a overloaded semi-trailer showed up with the machine. Originally the plan involved driving the semi up the driveway, having the cab pull of into the corner of the yard, unloading the machine, and then backing the trailer out again. Instead they unloaded the backhoe in the street and then drove it into the yard. It is pretty impressive to see in motion!

The backhoe as it arrived in front of our house.

Just admire the sheer size and precision of this machine!

Unloading off the trailer...

Turning around in the street (blocked traffic for a while).

The backhoe pulling itself up the driveway.

Free to roam in the yard!

The silent giant, awaiting the digging day.

Oh yeah, and we now have a port-a-potty again. Stop by and use it any time.
