Cleaning the beast

Obama has a beast, but I’m sure it’s no where near the size and weight of our hire car.

We have a 2012 Ford Explorer which when we picked it up at Alamo had only 44Km on the clock!

Well today it needed a clean, so Michelle – armed with a step ladder and pressure washer went to war with the mud.   Take a look at the gallery to put it into perspective.

(Oh and Nick was very impressed with the gadgets when he first sat in the car – voice control and everything!)

Wood Chopping

No photos of this unfortunately, so no proof, but as many suspected before leaving for Nova Scotia, Nick was today chopping wood (no lumberjack shirt though yet).

With the aid of (an extremely deadly) hydraulic wood chopping ram, three of us managed to get through several tons of lumber.

This after gently and accurately righting the wood shed with by pulling it with a pickup truck.

I’m not sure, but I think this was some kind of initiation for Nick into the village!
