    Investing in those machines has paid for itself. If you had to buy them now you couldn't have. Now they are saving tens of thousands in work and infrastructure costs.

    That’s such a dangerous but necessary fix..those 2 heavy pieces of equipment you invested in have paid for themselves over and over..and your boys..no words-they are absolute Rock Star young men! They both already have so many skills and an incredible work ethic to make a good living for themselves when they are grown, and they are just getting started. You’ve done an amazing job raising chidlers and I know you’re so very proud of who they are-I sure am!! I so loving seeing your friend Art coming to help..community has truly been the saving grace for so many people in Western NC through this horrific storm aftermath. Blessings Rhodes❤

You have such great friends because you are a great friend.

    I hope we don't forget and every one can be made whole or reunited. As a city person, your videos from all over the area has given me and I'm sure many more, a greater appreciation for what we have and what we lack. We lack the know-how of sustaining ourselves like the country, hill, mountain and those in the holler people. We have and can learn so much. Regardless of location, its always the locals that take the lead until extra help is available. I'm seeing 36" and 24" water lines install after 2 days of cutting through trees in Asheville and pipes in ground 3 days later and pressurizing 1,800 miles of water line to help 80% of customers. Glad the barn is still standing.

    Things happen! I was close to a wildfire but it stayed away from my property. Count it a blessing if it misses you or mostly misses you. Part of being self-sustaining is that you are ready for events like this when they happen. The fact that you had machinery is helping you a lot and saving you lots of money now. When I was in the eye of Hurricane Charley in 2004 we had access to heavy machinery from a construction job my husband was working on. Everything helps!
