A Crane in our Front Yard

It is not every day that you wake up because your mom tells you there is a crane in your front yard. Roderic and Hyrum woke up and got out of bed quickly in order to see it work. The lumber yard brought out the shingles for our roof and we watched them use the crane to get them up 30 feet to our roof.

It was a little chilly outside, so they didn't stay out long - just long enough for a picture.


These guys were tight-rope walkers. The crane got up as high as the roof line, then they would bend over pick up a package of shingles from the swaying crane, turn and walk along the peak of the roof and set it down. That is not the job for me and my fear of heights! But it was really cool to watch.

Wonder what they're bringing out to install Gibbyr's statue.
