So, anyone ever use a Bobcat? Not me, not till today anyway!
I rented one to scrape the ground down where the mobile is going to be. I showed up on the land at 0900 today, and there it was, as promised!
I got in, and started checking it out. There was a set of keys hanging from the roof, so I pulled them down. Only one problem...no place to put the keys! I must have looked for 20 minutes, until I got tired of being stupid and called the owner. Turns out there's a code you punch in to start it...so what's with the keys?
It didn't take me long to scrape down the soil, and it was kind of fun too! I like heavy machines. The Cat is an easy machine to use, but it's not heavy enough to move a lot of dirt. It's better for smaller jobs. I'm going back tommorow to try and start digging a pond, but I don't think I'll get too much done on that. It just doesn't have the capacity to do what I need!
We're 5 days away from possession on the mobile, and everything is moving pretty smoothly, except for the mortgage.
The mortgage company is giving me the runaround about a certain aspect of the title. They insist that there's no problem, but I found out that to do it their way would cost an extra $400-500 and accomplish nothing! I tried to call the specialist, but she never returned my call. Again. I also have to find some time in my schedule to sign the documents, which might be difficult since tommorow we hit the streets for the first time! We graduated on Friday.
Lots of work still to be done. I need cement, gravel, a driveway, and a winch for my truck. I'm going to be burning a lot of gas in the next month!
