Are the church people that stupid? What was it going to hurt for you to be parked in their parking lot.. when no one was there, and you would be gone before they had church the next day...??? SENSELESS.... okay, maybe you should have called them to ask permission... but it's not like you were going to drop the tree across their lot or anything.
Geesh

Lets start off with some entertainment... Last Saturday a last second mud bog event came up, well I decided to take the 5 ton. I ended up having to go last cause they knew I would blow the hole out and I did and broke the crust on the bottom.
Ended up winning the competition of going the furthest (imagine that). I went twice cause well they wanted some entertainment. The second time I stuck it so good their M936A2 military winch truck couldn't even pull me, they had to go fetch their 50 ton wrecker. Left a crater of about 4' deep when pulled out.
They want to know if I would donate my track loader to make the bog right, we will see about that. I will be doing the work and I see it as a way to advertise our business.

Church people were going to crucify you -- ;) :lol: Hell fire and damnation - guess they're the type that would drown after God tried to send them 3 different boats to save them. Stupidity at it's best.

Putting in that well, was great foresight on your part. But, that is why you did it, knowing that the water situation there is very precarious. So very glad for you that you have a "reserve" of water...

Not the same exactly, but one house I lived in did not have a well... alot of shade trees so not collecting off the roof for drinkable water. Directed the roof water into tubs for the animals drinking water and garden watering water... I had a 2500 gallon cistern put in... like the concrete box that they use for septic tank... and had to get watered delivered. You learn to become very "water use conscious". I reused water from washing my "delicate fabrics", collected in buckets when it came out the discharge hose, to then put back in the machine and soak and wash my dirty "cow jeans"... used that discharge water to run out on the lawn to water the grass and towards the gardens.

I smiled when you were saving that rain water for the pigs because it brought back so many memories of what I also did to save water for future use.

Dusting the neighbors! Hahaha! That’s so funny! I know y’all are enjoying that! Their homes are close to the road too, so I bet that dust even finds a way to seep inside the house. Maniacal laugh!

That’s a lot of debris! Clean up is going good.

Brilliant on your part to put in the well. You didn’t mention if you are sharing water with your friend, or would it be an ongoing drain on your resources?
