Microhouse Moving

Micro House frame moving day was today. Was up at 5am with Mango and Dave to wait for the truck to arrive at Encuentro. Truck was two hours late so I strung the hammock at the entrance to the driveway and waited. Truck arrived at 7 am and a set of dark black rain clouds circled but passed us by. Strapping the Aluminum frames to the side of a 20 year old dump truck was a challenge. 16 Ratcheting straps were secured and a coconut found on the ground was used as a spacer between truck and frame to keep the frame from burning through the tires. A machete and a branch with a Y was used by a sentry on top of the truck to cut branches of overhanging trees and to move power lines over the frames. No permits were required for the move and we all had a great laugh about it.  Dave, Mango and the truck team were incredible today. I almost got thrown off the team for forgetting the cold beer. Will never happen again.
