Well Happy Fourth of July to Everyone! This week we see progress. After finalizing things over the last couple of weeks, locking in a contractor, and setting a schedule for work, Things are starting to happen!!
Last weekend, we went up and marked the areas to clear for the contractor. These areas included about one acre near the road, and another area out back for the septic system. It was fairly cool, but muggy and buggy, so everyone was sweating pretty good, and we all have a few mosquito bites to show for there efforts.
Earlier this week the logger dropped his equipment off and started clearing the marked off areas. We decided to forgo the traditional Fourth picnic and take a ride to inspect the progress. We were excited to see some of the land was indeed cleared!
This was a few weeks ago
And this was this morning!
This was probably about 1/4 of what will eventually be cleared. All the trees were stacked out by the road and different size and length piles, next to the Skidder.
We did some exploring inwards through the cleared area, and all of the smaller branches made a nice bed of green, but also made for tricky maneuvering, as the branches tend to pop up or roll on you as you trample through them.
Of course, some one could not resist the "climbing on the skidder shot"
While the end goal is building something, these things take time. We expect they will be clearing for a portion of next week as well. After that, the property will get some sun and dry out some. And a few more weeks, will be the stumping, grading and seeding. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!!
