Let the games begin...tomorrow is a big day. Grading starts on our property at Big Tree. This much anticipated event will create our driveway, house pad, sheep shed pad, septic system, etc. Don't get excited, we aren't going to start raising sheep. It's a shed for sheep but will serve as our new workshop. Lots of requests for handmade furniture, etc. from family (that's justification for the workshop).
Once the grading is complete, the well will be drilled. Water is needed for concrete and stone work. Electric temp pole will be placed in the next week or so as well.
We've decided that any stones, rocks or boulders that are dis-lodged will be reassigned to other areas near the cabin to be used as landscaping elements. Our plans include an outdoor fire ring with seating and my bride wants her hot tub so we'll incorporate some rocks into that ultimate project.
Starting the next post you'll see progress photos from grading to finished cabin. An everyday post might be difficult because of internet access but I'll give it the best shot I can every day.
More coming,
Z
I'm catching up on these. I could serve as a house maid once this dream cabin is complete! I can even sleep in the sheep shed. Sounds better than an AT shelter! And def better than the money pit I'm living in. But if people are making requests for furniture, let me ask you . . . I had to fight Chuck off from tossing a lovely Hitchcock rocker into the dumpster recently. My monkey-boy sons broke some slats when they were little, and the rocker has never been fixed. I don't know anyone who fixes furniture . . . at least, I didn't think I knew anyone. ;)
