Today was exciting for us because it was inspection day! Heating systems, electrical, plumbing, and structural inspections were all completed, and we were able to follow the inspectors as they checked out the farm for stuff that we might overlook.
Now these guys have some specialized tools that make what they do about impossible unless you have the tools, and even though I thought I'd seen most ladders, I saw a really cool telescoping model today that sure caught my eye.
We got into town a bit early so we decided to tramp around the farm again as we had a couple hours to kill before meeting our inspectors. Upon pulling into the farm's drive, something looked "different". Couldn't quite put my finger on it to start with, but after walking around a bit, I could tell that some big equipment had pulled into the spot where I had left "my" Deere.
Danged if the Deere wasn't gone...Go to the very first post of this blog to read about Brian's first Deere. I'd had thoughts about that old Deere with the tree growing through the seat. It was ploppled up on blocks, one wheel off, one tire gone, and the wheel that was off was totally rusted through.
Yep, I had dreams of restoring the old Deere as I really enjoy mechanics, but I know that until the day that we take possession of the farm, anything out there that isn't fixed isn't mine. Now I admit that I wondered how I would move the Deere myself in the condition it was in, but it appears someone with equipment moving experience cut the tree down through the seat, and dragged the old Deere to a new resting place.
Only thing...I wish they would have taken the old rusty tractor wheel and tire too. I have a feeling they did me a big favor in the long run.
