Part time dumbass
Ok so I seem to have possibly developed the 2BB disease. I bount a boat and call it yard art. Hoping to have her on tge water for the 4th. But my next bad idea was the neighbors backhoe. Started a pirate thread on it But figured I would start here. So this is the neighbor that had the Meth heads living at his place. We, myself and his brother (other neighbor), helped him get him evicted. Fast forward and he has a “contractor” building him a deck and doing some basic remodel stuff and was going to work out a trade with said contractor on work for backhoe. Well contractor gets in over his head, he was very green, and neighbor and contractor have a blowout. Neighbor wanted a front porch awning build on his manufactured home. New contractor looked up permits required for that and found you cant attach a awning to a manufactured home without engineering stamps. So contractor freaks out on him for trying to do him dirty and up and quits. Neighbor calls me up and offers work and I politely decline but stay neighborly. Fast forward to yesterday and I am out walking with my oldest and see neighbors brother so we stop and say hi. I ask him if neighbor is still interested in selling his backhoe and he says he tried to give it to his brother but brother has enough equipment and projects he doesn't need another.
so ge says if I ask him he will probably just give it to you as he now wants it go e. But it will probably come with a small dump truck as well. So I may have more yard art coming for the right price. Definitely want the backhoe and suddenly a dump truck has become appealing as well. Even the war department is on board with both. I suggested getting the old dump truck up and in good shape and selling it and she said that would be great unless we can use it here.
So we will see but I figured I would waste some of Austin's bandwidth on this just because.
Backhoe is an older all hydraulic no electronic machine, No idea on the dump but knowing the neighbor its a chevy based truck. Even if he is wanting to sell it to me, now that I know he wants it gone and is trying to give it to his brother I feel I will get a good deal. Brother said everything works on the backhoe just need basic maintenance. And his brother has a history of doing the maintenance but when he got sick he just kinda stopped. Neighbor had his buddy run it this winter to clear some snow so it worked recently.
Either way I am stoked for a free/heavily discounted backhoe and dump truck

Going to need to come up with something nice for him now. First world problems
I could use a hoe around here for some projects.
