Last winter, Philippe said, ‘I’m not a mechanic,’ but I’d say he’s well on his way to becoming one. While waiting for the soil to dry out behind the barns, he’s tackling a new task with Claude’s guidance, picking up skills he never thought he’d need. He starts off by fixing the exhaust on the dumper, and if you caught last week’s video, you know we picked up a second tractor, hoping it might serve as a parts donor—or maybe even work on its own.This week brings three big moments. First, there’s the tricky task of unloading the tractor from the trailer—let me tell you, editing that part had me holding my breath the entire time! Then, Philippe and Claude take on the real test: getting the engine to start. Swapping batteries, using starter fluid—they try everything! And finally, by week’s end, the ground behind the barn is dry enough to resume digging, leading to a literal breakthrough as we dig beyond the farthest corner. This progress is a milestone we’ve been eagerly awaiting. Soon, we’ll be able to start grading and reshaping the slope to make it less steep.
With each new skill and every week that passes, projects that once seemed daunting start to feel achievable. Taking on this adventure means learning as we go, turning each challenge into a skill and proving that patience pays off. And we’re so glad you’re on this journey with us. Your support keeps us motivated and helps make this project possible.
