'chines (as in MAchines)

A few days ago, the drywall arrived. --and needed to be unloaded. A huge crane on the truck picked up palettes of dry wall and lifted them to the 2nd story. Our oldest grandson would have loved watching this happen as he loves 'chines of all types.

Everything has a time and place for things to happen. So--the window on the west side of the upstairs apartment could not be put in until the 'chine did it's work. While this was happening Mme Toad was also hard at work with her 'chine--a wheelbarrow and a shovel.

Low tech you say?  Yes, but the dastardly deed is done and the Toads will put in the next order for--you guessed it--MORE ROCKS!
