And so it begins!

 Sorry, Got word that construction has begun on our new home.  Well, the demolition part anyhow.  So, I've got two Monday Posts today!

Just got a text from our construction supervisor.  Apparently, demolition has begun. 

 


Yes, it has begun!  Taking down the abandoned house was the first in several clearing requirements. The above video is looking to the North West at the start.  That's the road to get onto the property

The area directly to the right of the picture below will be the spot for the Horse Barn and their grazing pasture.  They'll be taking down the scrub crap and leaving most of the trees.  The dead ones will obviously be taken down also.

  
Looking to the south east in this pic  

This next picture the camera is to the left of the frame.

 Lots of junk to be put in the bin.

 

Lot's of stuff to get rid of, but...It's a start!

  3. It's a start...of a long and winding road to completion! At least you know what to look for now, having already done one house!

      I agree! The house is gone. Next step is demolishing the concrete pad it was standing on. That may take some doing!

  5. SUPER!
    This construction stuff is getting real! What a relief. Fortunately, you can pretty much do construction all year down there, without too much time lost for snow, etc. You've got the new construction experience to anticipate and expedite things, and ask the right questions if anything looks out of kilter at any point.

    The solution to the GP noise problem may be getting them into their new home ASAP!

    1. JB, well WE might not get any more sleep in the new house, but at least it won’t be the police that’s keeping us up at night.

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
