A Small Side Trip

The Mutton-Bustin' kids in Nashville decided to look for a classic trailer to restore and outfit as a B&B. Apparently classic trailers are hot, really hot. So they found a 30' sixty-four-year-old trailer in Missouri that hadn't been moved for thirty years and needed to get it home. Mom and Dad to the rescue. We picked it up Sunday morning from an elderly fellow who was a hoot. Really nice guy. I was pretty worried about the old tires and the bearings. Had a couple spare tires with us, but that didn't cover all that was on the thing. We took it slow and finally made it just before darkness set in. This morning we disassembled two sections of fence so I could back it into place, which had been cleared and graded by Todd very nicely. After about five minutes, we got it back in properly and they can start their own adventure! It is really cool to see them use what they learned on the house project to move on to their own.
