Site Clearing

It is hard to imagine exactly how a house site will look like when it is covered with trees. Unfortunately, when one is choosing a place on which to build a house, they must imagine the site with the trees gone. This is difficult to do.

 Over a year ago the site for our house was chosen and, with the exception of minor changes, has remained the chosen location. Despite the fact that we are not quite ready to build, we decided to contract with a local equipment operator to clear the lot and build the road up to the lot. Our hopes are that this will be a way to advance the process at a minimum or expenses while we wait for our house to sell. The graciousness of our parents has made this possible. So, on Monday, December 26th, the power shovel bucket felled the first trees and an open site began to emerge from the forest.
