Every Labor Day weekend clan Daniel loads up the travel trailer and heads east to the Mrs. families farm and camps, gets ready for deer season and leaves our travel trailer until after the new year.
This year we decided to forgo our long weekend trip and stay home to re-floor the whipper-snappers rooms. We intended to pull up the carpet and stain the floors, after removing the carpet we determined that that was not an option so we decided to tile both floors.
The Mrs. does the bulk of the artistic type work like laying tiles to be square and uniform.
Dad man's the saw and does the bulk of the tile cutting.
Bub got in on the act helping to lay tile in his room.
Seems a huge windstorm came thru and played havoc on the homestead. We knew that there was a storm but had no idea that this had happened.
The next morning Nannie called asking what was in our garden. When we went out to see we found our barn.
Apparently it had slammed into our travel trailer (that should have been 2 hours away!) totaling it and then lifted up, crashed onto one of the storage sheds (totaling it) and then breaking it in two landing in the garden.
Thankfully no one was injured and we have insurance to cover the losses.
Unfortunately for the Mrs. this barn was her 10Th wedding anniversary present so she was really tore up about it. The re-building process should make for good blogging!
