Baby Steps. We are in a holding pattern right now in the house building process. We need to sell the house we live in now before construction can begin.
We have a good bit of savings and inheritance that we are using in the mean time to do the not-all-that-exciting stuff like pay permit fees, and erect poles.
Recently, we had to remove a few trees so that the electric pole could be installed. Our lines will be run underground to connect to the house, but another pole needed to be added at the end of the street so that the lines could reach our property. We paid to have two large trees removed and Eddie and a friend cut down a third. The electric company wound up needing to remove another to install the pole.
We’ve planted quite a few more trees so don’t fret too much about the ones that were removed.
I love the view that will become the back yard. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but that corn is probably a good 7 or 8 feet tall. The small trees are fruit (peach, apple and pear) and will eventually grow into a small backyard orchard. I’m looking forward to planting a large vegetable garden. Hopefully in the spring.
Now somebody please buy our current house!
