Come over to my house...

One of the really nice things about our soon to be built house is that we can access it via a path through the woods. Come along with me as we trundle over to our building site...

More pics from the site...

We were over the other morning to do the test for the septic. The site is now completely logged and the cleanup from that is about halfway done. Here are some more pics:

The hydro right of way - you can see our well head on the right. Sean's going to build a small shed over it:

The road itself:




More pics as they become available :-)

Logging has started....

Yep, you heard me :-) We have started logging the property. Well, not by ourselves, but trees have fallen so we have a much better idea now of the area in which our house will stand in the next few months. Below are some photos we took last weekend.

Timberrrrrr:

The house will be in the far corner:

That's all for now, folks - more details as they become available :-)

Happy New Year!!

New house and site...

I know it's been a while again since I've updated here. That's because we didn't have much news. However, we've decided to go with a different (smaller) house on a different lot.

Note: click on the images below to get bigger versions.

Here's the house, and here are pics of the new site, starting with a view of it from across the lake:



we'll be up the hill somewhat, not right on the shore of the lake, but you get the general idea.

Here's the driveway:



and here are a few shots of where it will be sited, along with different views of the driveway as you go further along it:


















We're hoping to start in March - fingers crossed etc. We have a fantastic builder, which is so important, and we're happy to wait for him to be free. Looks like we'll be spending the winter here in our cozy little cabin.

More updates when we have more news :-)
