Dear Friends,<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
As the 2019 seva season gets underway at Ishwar\u2019s dera project in Wisconsin, there will be lots of things to move \u2026 including some very heavy things. Things like lumber, dirt, windows, gravel, trees, cement, sheds, rebar, doors, rocks, and much more. ISHA needed some equipment to help with the moving of things, and so we now have a dump truck and a utility trailer on site.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The dump truck is a 1981 Chevrolet C\/K30. This scarlet-colored beauty is capable of transporting two tons of dirt or gravel and then dumping it exactly where it\u2019s needed. It was built in the GM assembly plant that operated in Janesville, Wisconsin, from 1919 to 2008. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The truck is a deluxe model, equipped with dual rear wheels (known as the \u201cBig Dooley\u201d option) and 4-wheel drive, both of which make it perfect for navigating through the Wisconsin snows and muds. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Although our gorgeous \u201cDera Dumper\u201c is nearly 40 years old, its previous owner took great care of it. These so-called “third-generation” Chevrolet C\/K trucks were incredibly well built, and were one of the best-selling truck lines in the U.S. They have since earned a reputation for \u201crock-solid\u201d dependability, with millions still going strong on construction sites around the world.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The handsome wooden signs arrived with the truck. Google \u201cUS Open Chainsaw Sculpture Championship\u201d to be amazed by the beauty and skill of chainsaw art!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Dera Dumper is also equipped with a snow plow bracket (green arrow below), which will allow us to easily convert the truck to the ISHA “Snow Shover\u201d during the winter months.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
And, there\u2019s more! Our cherry-red lorry is also equipped with a heavy-duty towing hitch (green arrow below), which will allow it to haul a big trailer \u2026 which ISHA also now owns!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Our new, 18-foot utility trailer was built locally in Wisconsin. This trailer is highly versatile, capable of safely transporting many different kinds of loads, including heavy equipment such as tractors and mowers, and it is easily hooked up to our dump truck.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The trailer was immediately put to use to transport five, heavy, sliding glass doors to the Maintenance Shed\/Greenhouse site in Bruce. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Four of the sliding glass doors will be installed on the south side of the greenhouse, shown here by the blue arrows. The fifth door will be set on the side of the greenhouse. These doors will match the white windows that are already installed in the building.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Stay tuned for more dera news soon!<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

With warmest regards,<\/span>
