Made it to the farm. unicornduke https://tmblr.co/mVpJNDQaUH5cHEJCTfGjjzQ​ showed up to help. as i was discussing with my mom what to do, BIL emerged from the other room and said “why don’t i get the forks on the tractor.” so we went out to the building site, figured out how to make room, then investigated the pallets, moved two of them out there, moved the fiberglass insulation batts up to the barn loft, moved the doors up to the barn loft, and realized the final pallet, containing windows with fiberglass insulation batts on top, had not been touched by the flood, protected by the three upstream pallets.

So all is well. I earned that shower, and owe unicornduke https://tmblr.co/mVpJNDQaUH5cHEJCTfGjjzQ​ bigtime, but it’s taken care of. It really doesn’t look like anything needs to be re-purchased. The insulation is damp in a few places but will dry in the attic, and there was a large loose tarp to put over it so the birds won’t shit there.

Meanwhile a guy was there re-graveling the trashed driveway, and he watched us put the first door up into the loft, and was like “nah let me help with the next one” and then CLIMBED ONTO THE TRACTOR FORKS and rode them up to the loft so he could hand us the door without it snagging.

I took a picture but I don’t think it conveys that this man is approximately twelve feet in the air here. like just for the record there’s a picture drawn on the forks that says not to do exactly this. But he did it and it works. (Also: he’s booked solid til September but came right away today because he knew the farm needed the driveway done for tomorrow. he’s done their driveway before and knew he could shuffle his schedule to squeeze it in. he spent all day on it and didn’t break for lunch, but he DID break to come do this.
