An update

Progress is going to get a bit swift from this point on. Digging the foundation and placing the forms and such through Friday. Next Monday the foundation may be poured. Framing will likely begin next week. We will get photos posted when they become available.

Thursday and Friday: locking down selections for cabinets, windows and flooring.

Evening Sun

A late Wednesday look at the property. Found some holes for the future wind tower to generate power for the property. One more tower for Lincoln Creek. I think we counted 4 or 5 the other day.


An evening view.

A clearing

The driveway is complete. Now there is a clearing for the house.



Next is a shot of the view from the pad.

Turning a heal

Like turning a heal on a sock, the driveway now has a turn. It will have about a 10% slope. We initially envisioned having the house further along the side of the road, but at that distance the driveway was going to cost a lot to build. It would also be a lot of upkeep to remove snow!


Here is a photo of Kate next to the driveway with the CAT working in the background.


Here is an actual monument marker for the right corner of the lot. It is off the road. Utility easement is at least 30 feet, might be 50 feet. Have to review the documentation again.










Here is a view approximately 100 feet from the top of the property. We are looking UP! Material is being pulled from below to create the driveway. The CAT is on one level, the level above the CAT is the driveway.

Fiddler's Green: We have driveway!

Knitting has taken somewhat of a backseat to work for the time being. A larger project that has come to the forefront is working with a builder to build a 2nd home on the frontier.

Note the pink marker in the road. UPDATE: We thought that was our corner marker thinking we owned part of the road. The next post will show the actual corner marker.

One thing about moving that much dirt around at this time of year... MOSQUITOES!

Triangles Triangles...

... the triangle pattern is the pattern that keeps on giving. Progress seems to be going fairly well. Two weeks ago, I was on triangle 12. I am currently on triangle 20.
