22 Days Later...

22 days ago, we drove to our new house.  22 days later, we finally got Doug's car off the trailer and into the garage.  We did it ourselves.  Just the 2 of us.  OK, mostly Doug, but I helped as much as I could.  2 rain showers and a slight "hiccup" (the car rolled in the grass) later, it was finally done.  Yea!  Now the trailer is free for other projects...like hauling mulch and lumber for the kids playground.  Moving definitely keeps us busy.

Here's our "oops".  It rolled a little too far down the driveway.  Good thing the grass stopped it.  Unfortunately, the rain shower started and we couldn't get the car to budge.  Good time for a dinner break. 
   Doug had to unhitch the trailer from the truck then hook up the car with a chain and pull it back up the driveway.
Almost there.  We went extra slow this time and kept blocking the wheels to make sure we didn't have another runaway.
Mary's blurry picture of me pushing.  I wanted proof that I helped.  :)
The Torino's new home...at least until the detached garage is built.  Maybe we'll invite friends over for a "move the car party" when that happens.
