With the completion of tests pits and the health department signing off on the results we were able to move forward with the surveyor. We now have a site plan to submit to the town!
Here is a close up of the map area.
Our excavator will hopefully get it's repair done this week and we can then get it shipped to us next week. This is assuming that there aren't any problems when they pull its track. We had a delay in the repair because our friend didn't have time to do the job. He passed it off to someone he knows. So now we have a friend of a friend doing the repair. We were holding off hiring a repair company because of the cost of labor. If we can just hire someone we know it is much cheaper. Typical large equipment repair service charge $100 /hr and they charge you for drive time too. That adds up pretty fast when the machines are big and heavy like our excavator.
As we wait for the structural engineers to finish we continue to keep ourselves busy. I finished removing barbwire fencing on the front 5 acres. The last several acres can wait since it is all wooded and much easier when there are no leaves. Unfortunately, there are still the horrible prickers. I will not get a break from things that want to stab me but at least they can't give me tetanus! Mr. Dometastic is residing the old barn and splitting our enormous pile of logs. He bought himself a new fathers day toy and is spending all his free time being productive.
Guess who gets to stack the split logs?
