Start off with sure footings.


Nothing beats good help. Thanks a bunch to Tim and Don for helping us out on the concrete pour today. Twelve and a half yards of concrete went into the footings with just enough left over to pour around one of the culverts.

WOW!

I feel like if you keep up with this I might learn to build a house on this blog.

Holy crap. I thought you were renovating a house (maybe that's more difficult???). Lots of work it looks like, but damn the satisfaction when you're done will be incredible!

Building a house definately poses a different set of challenges from remodeling, but I'm really excited about knowing everything about the house from the inside out. If I had my act together I'd be taking a whole lot more pictures along the way. I'm hopiing that it will provide a really nice digital history when we are done. Thanks for your comments!

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.
