For those of you who do not know, the @papa-pepper tribe is currently staying in a guest house near the land that we just purchased.
In the near future, we are planning on building a house for our family. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but praise God that steemit is able to help us reach our goals. After having a bad morning yesterday, I had a great afternoon. Yes, I was sweating up a storm getting things done, but I also noticed that a trailer full of 24" culverts was heading up the drive.
My good friend and neighbor @jaguarlife is also hard at work building a home for his family. Recently he mentioned that he was going to pick up some culverts for his driveway. I jumped on the opportunity and had him get one for me too! The most incredible part is that money I gave him for the culvert was provided by some of my earnings on steemit, hence the "STEEEM-Powered" culvert!
With this culvert installed, we can now access the building site and the area that will be the driveway from the gravel road that runs the length of the property. This will make things much easier for us. Also, not only did @jaguarlife pick up the culvert and have it delivered, he used the mini-excavator and skid-steer that he had to install it for me. For the most part, I got to watch and take pictures. Don't worry, though, I can supervise like a boss! LOL.
Anyway, this was a huge step forward for us. This post will mostly be a photo-post of the process. Enjoy the photos! I also mixed in a few GIFs.
HERE COMES MAMA!
As an added bonus, I let @mama-pepper drive the @little-peppers across the culvert as our first traffic. I told her to get used to it, because we hope to be using it for years to come!
Also, even though he doesn't know it yet, I'll be giving the liquid SBD/STEEM payout from this post to @jaguarlife for all of his hard work. It took him about an hour total to put this in for me, and when I asked him what his hourly rate was, he laughed and told me not to worry about it. What a good friend and great neighbor! He should be joining us shortly, as he has created an account but has yet to post. Make sure to thank him and welcome him when he gets here!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
It is always a fun day when you get to work with heavy machinery.

First, congrats on the successful installation and testing of the culvert! Looks good @papa-pepper!
Second, it is just awesome to read that Steemit is enriching the lives of so many people. That's what I love about this platform. And you're doing a great job here, I hope your house build turns out great and hopefully Steem will help pay for most of the work as well!
Steem On!! :)

That looks like a ton of work, but you are going about it the right way! The more you can nail the "foundation" type items from the beginning, the less time and energy you will have to spend on maintenance instead of the rest of the homestead. I have to ask though.... how are you handling the heat? As a Yooper, I think I would have melted by now!

Amazing @papa-pepper. Good to know you are building your family house. I know it is not easy but step by step you will get there. Having been doing one for close to 4 years now I know what it takes.
I just wanted to use this opportunity to bring our community project to your attention. The project is targetting african minnows and it is about a bot @msp-africa which is meant to upvote posts from African minnow participants.
The post seeking for the support can be found here. https://steemit.com/steemit/@richguy/support-msp-african-bot-give-africans-minnows-voice.
Thanks in anticipation. Even if it means helping to let others know about it. It will be appreciated.

Real life, real work, real progress. This is why you are so successful - authenticity. Everyone is so tired of the fake news, fake messages from advertising. Sometimes they just want to watch a guy go out into his garden, dig up a mole, and make a video about it. That's why I built my own canoe a couple of years ago - I just had to reconnect with the world around me in a kenetic way. Do you canoe?
