You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Neighborhood Entertainment!

We provided neighborhood entertainment yesterday when our friend who owns and operates a crane came to help us move our shed and our swingset to the house we are moving to next door. It was the coolest ever to watch these rather large items dangle above the rooftops and be lowered to the ground without any harm or incident. I captured a few pictures just because I was so intrigued by the whole thing... I was not the only one snapping shots...a few of the neighbors had their cameras out too. We've never had issues with our HOA but since we have begun this move we've been fined for moving the shed, and having a trailer on the street (we've been loading and loading it...duh...) Anyway, we are currently trying to work with an attorney to figure out what our rights are with regards to the stupid HOA.


This is our trusty crane operator! Thanks Kevan!

And here's the spot in our new yard where the playset ended up.
Here it is in its spot - where it has lied for the last 5 years.








Here's the shed out the window of the house we are currently in....This thing weighed 3500 pounds....
Here's its first landing so the crane could readjust to get it in the right spot.







And its final resting place in our new yard.

WOW! Thank heavens you have Star Crane connections!!! (love them) those are some fun shots- I can't quite tell where the shed landed... did you put it back by the garage on the concrete? or is it on the back porch concrete (that's what it looks like)... wish I were there to help- love you!

I really, really, really dislike HOAs (I am not using the word 'hate' here, but I am tempted to). Glad you were able to move everything.
