Willis, TX is only about 150 miles from Tyler, TX, right? I'm sure that Brandi wouldn't mind putting a few highway miles on that excavator! :laughing:

Brandi - you NEVER cease to amaze me with your projects!! You have a great place and just keep making it better! :thumbsup: :us-texas:

Thanks Mark. Too busy for a road trip!
hugs, Brandi
