Summertime Barge Fun!

In the last few weeks I’ve made two major home purchases on the mainland: septic tank and kitchen stove, both destined for my island home-in-progress. Here’s a recap in pics of the septic tank’s journey from the mainland to home via a few forklifts, the barge and Truckie:

Dropped off at the barge office.

Offloading from the barge on the island

The new barge/forklift operator: “Where’s this going?” Me:”On top of my truck.” Barge op: “Awesome!”

Truckie, the champ

Island neighbors came to help me off-load.

The stove is making a similar journey (still in progress as I write this):

Into the mainland van

Out of the van and into a trailer, awaiting barge transport.
