Land Update

This past weekend was a long but productive weekend. I have been building Patti a screened in porch for her house. I have been working 4 days on the porch and now have a completed roof. Last Sunday Patti & I burned and moved rocks on the Lake front. Even though it might not show we have accomplished many hours of hard work. Ploof excavating did not start the road like we thought he might. I guess it will be in July when he starts. I talked to another plumber that I tried earlier in the month, on Sunday and he said he will send a estimate. Let hope he does this time! Work will continue on the land until we get a road put in. The bees are doing fine and I hope to get some of the new honey by late July. Our log home plans were mailed yesterday from Lincoln Logs. We hope to get them today so we can get the foundation estimate.

Update

The log home plans will be mailed on the 26th of June and we will have them by the end of the month. Today I went out on my new Kayak and took some pictures. We hope to have the excavator working on the road this week. The grass and trees by the road were cleared by someone today. It makes it easier to get around and see other cars.

Land Clearing

Last Sunday Patti & I burned for about 5 hours. We cleaned many of sticks and branches we have collected in and around the water. I made three more fire pits so when the chain saw is sharpened we will have four fires going. Today CVPS and Williamson Electric/ Peter will be looking at the power set up at the property at 1pm. The bees are doing fine. I opened both hives on last Saturday and both are producing honey. The Russian bees seem to be ahead of the Italian's but they both seem healthy. The plans haven't arrived yet and we are still waiting for estimates from the foundation & plumbing contractors.

Section Two in Place

Hello:

Section two was added to the dock today. Patti & I loaded the trailer and headed out to Fern Lake. I hooked up the dock at the access area and headed out on the Lake. It was Hazy and clear when I started. about 15 minutes into this operation it started to thunder, lightning and pour out, just out of no where. I made it to the shore before it got too bad, and waited out the storm. To say the least it was slow moving but I managed to get to the other side of the lake 2 hours later. It was a nice trip and the water was warm. Check out the pictures. If you look twice, notice I'm on the dock when I arrive. I switched and decided to use the dock instead of the boat because it was easier to paddle alone instead of the rubber boat. Anyway I made it to the other end safe and a few pounds lighter. I'll hook up the two sections tomorrow. Patti was waiting on the property when I arrived.
