Minor progress

At this point, I almost expect daily progress, but alas, that's not the case. In fact, nothing is happening right now; we are waiting for the guy to come dig and pour the footers.  In the meantime, Tim was out all day working because we had another guy come out and do some wiring on our barn.  While he was there, the porta-potty showed up!  Not sure that's exciting per se (remember...we have real indoor plumbing - for the most part), but the workers won't be using that, so it's the porta-pot for them!

The job Tim was working on was leveling a space for the central boiler.  We dropped three trees yesterday afternoon to make room (and boy are my allergies kicking today...ugh).  Today, Tim cleaned up, ground the stumps, and made an attempt to level out the ground.

If you look in the background, you'll see our lovely fence.  Tim worked on that too.  We are pretty excited about that because aside from the actual posts, we made that fence!  The railings are milled from trees we dropped and milled with our own sawmill.  

We've had to cut down well over 50 trees (and, truth be known, it may be closer to 100) and we didn't want the wood to go to waste, so we purchased a sawmill and a stump grinder. Both are really cool!  Anyway, here is the mill...

...and here are some boards!

And here is the fence. It is not finished. We are putting boards on both sides and blocking the middle. We also have to treat the boards, a job we intend to tackle soon.

Well, that's the progress for now...Hope to have more soon!
