Where will the road go?


The debate continues as to where would be the best place to put the road. You would think that with a property this large it wouldn't be such an issue.

I spent the morning removing more barbed wire fencing and metal posts. As a bonus I found a large wasp nest under one of the many plastic pallets that had been used to keep the large round hay bails off the ground. I decided that that meant it was time to quite for the day.

We are getting a much needed rain today. The grass is coming along nicely in the newly cleared area behind the barns.

Estimates continue to come in on the house. Design changes continue at a resonable rate. It looks like the copper roof and the in-floor radiant heat system will have to wait for the next house.

On The Road Again

Home building has taken a back seat to road building over the past two weeks. And I can tell you -- IT'S A LONG WALK TO THE MAIL BOX! We decided to bring the road up along a contour line instead of shooting straight up the back. It made for a much more manageable slope but added significant length. I can't wait to try a full speed run down the hill on the bike. Hopefully we will get enough snow to try the sled out as well. If you come through town stop by and try it out. Happy motoring!

Aerial Survey

Louisa Aerial Survey flew this week to take pictures for the 2-foot contour topography map. Morris Foster set panels and established control points. Hopefully it will prove to be money well spent as we continue to develop the property. We still have had no measurable rain. The dust and seed particles from the grass and weeds are overwhelming. I must have looked like I was dealing with a bio-hazard as I bush hogged with my hat, mask, and glasses. That would have been a good picture. Our two antique old rusted square balers that Melvin pulled out of the woods now have a new home at Stumps Scrap Yard. The place is looking nicer all the time. The leaves will start changing in the coming week. Hopefully the dry weather won't dilute the fall foliage.
