HOMESTEAD RESCUE & THE RANEY FAMILY
COME TO CAMP HINNEAH..
A behind the scense look at the Homestead rescue that took over our lives for 12 straight days...
Indeed they showed up right on time... The tree house cabin I had a hand in building with my own 2 hands was on the verg of collapse... it wasn't a grooling process applying. An email, some videos, & a couple video chats very fun. We honestly didn't realize the damage to the beams when we applied. It was during the process when we realized that the tree house cabin was coming down on top of us... that reality sent us to the top of the Discovery Channel's Homestead Rescue list... Within a few weeks scouts arrived...I was bareback on my horse @ the end of the driveway awaiting their arrival. After the scouts accessed the damage & overlooked our homestead for items that could be used for our *Rescue*, it was only a months wait. Its mid September 2019 & a balmy 96*... On the first day 2 ginormous earth moving excavators & a sweet bobcat found its place in our tall grass. The site of these massive machines should have prepared us for what was next to come...but we had absolutely no idea how intense the next 11 days would be...

In your face....extremely invasive.... absolute blessing!
8 straight days of stretching your emotions in 10 different directions... banned from the comfort of our bed... kicked out of the cabin because it is extremely unsafe! Sleeping in a tent, wearing the same clothing all 8 days, washing those filthy clothes with the garden hose after each 10 hour day...temp is 96* in the shade! Pressing on... imagine the world spinning around you & your standing still... 30+ volunteers day after day showing up to help... 25 crew members with cameras & walkies telling you to go here & look there & to explain how your feeling when you can hardly take in everything happening all around you... that's Homestead Rescue.... Now in this mess stuff is getting done! Changes are being made...incredible changes that mean the difference between failure & success! Between survival & thriving! Martys arm is a yellow colored escavator. And that arm can lift & shift & hold up our house! That arm can push this & pull that & pluck a 50+ year old tree from its roots & toss it across the backyard like a toothpick. And all stand in awe watching this happen 3xs. Experienced contractors weave in & out of the belly of our 20,000 ton cabin. Disconnecting & supporting & reconnecting they move like worker-ants without offense or judgment. Marty Raney extends his arm & his voice & stuff gets done... And we watch with our jaws dropped... Until she is level! Until she is safe... And that's just the 1st 2 days... |
