The Meditation Stone

With spring in the air and the newly thawed earth, we brought in the backhoes, broke ground and started the process for installing our brand new septic system! YAY!...and then we hit a GIANT rock! Booooo! This rock was no ordinary rock...oh no...this rock was huge. It was a solid mass of problem that stood in the way of us and our brand new system of septic! This rock meant business, but unfortunately...this rock had to go! Before we could banish this rock from Blog Cabin road block existence, we had to put some thought into this giant rock surprise - for instance, How do we get around this rock? Can we get around this rock? Can we pipe over, under or perhaps around the rock? If not, we have to move the rock...can we move the rock? How would one lift such a large rock? Could it be lifted and if not, do we have use explosives to get it out of the ground? How much does moving or exploding a rock cost? If we move it, where do we move it to? Is it a good looking rock that I would want in the blog cabin yard? If it's not a good looking rock, does the company that moves or explodes the rock take it with them? Does that cost extra? Who can answer all these questions that need answers? Who???
Who you ask...
Ahem... ladies and gentlemen...making his blog cabin season 2 premier: OUR WAYNE!!! YAY! **insert claps, cheering and accolades here**
That's right everyone - Our Wayne is back and he is picking up right where he left off on last years Blog Cabin Adventure! A rock? A rock is no match for Our Wayne! Our Wayne will crush that rock with his bare hands! He will roll that rock right out of our Blog Cabin way because nothing stands in the way of our Blog Cabin Adventure! NOTHING!
So, after 2 days, a few phone calls, a really large machine and $1,100.00, we have a very unique Blog Cabin lawn ornament! Or as my mother likes to call it "An $1,100.00 rock that we can't even wear" - funny right? So, for no extra charge we had our very expensive rock moved and nooked into the edge of the yard overlooking the babbling brook. It's actually a very peaceful place to sit and watch the brook. P & I have named it the Meditation Stone. We have grown to love our pet rock and it has now become a permanent piece of Blog Cabin history.
