More Land clearing

Work on the land continues. On Sunday May 6th Patti & I did some more work on the land. Clearing dead trees and removing small trees was on the agenda for the day. I also started making some stone steps from the lake. Judging from the amount of rocks we have, this will not be a problem, just alot of time needed.

Patti & I took some ribbon and marked off the area where the house will be. This will give people some idea where the house will be instead of looking at trees and rocks.

We have not received any estimates in the mail yet. I guess I'll have to call them again! I hope this doesn't happen often! Patti talked to Kate and we will be meeting on Wednesday to go over the house plans so they can go to the final home drawings. I called and talked to the State water resource dept about a boat dock for the property and he stated that as long as it is not over 500 sq ft and shorter than 50 ft in length it would not be a problem. We also talked about clearing the trash that has floated to the shore from the lake being frozen.

I called the Town office about the building permit. The permit is good for two years, for any builder on the property. The permit expires in Febuary 08. I asked the town Clerk about burning brush and a permit is needed from the Fire Warden, just as I thought! Small camp fires are allowed in a confined area. We will be working on a fire pit near the Lake to burn the small brush we have collected.
