We Have a Date

Construction starts August 22. Our excavator will come on the 15th to pull stumps, level the area and extend our driveway so all of the building supplies can be delivered safely.

I'm amazed how quickly Steve can get the job done. He can make the excavator move like a dance partner, every movement is ballet.

Some trees we will turn into lumber for trim around the windows and doors, other trees will keep us warm during the winter.

Steve begins to clear the house site. Last year he tested the soil to see how close we are to bedrock.

We've removed more trees since this picture was taken. As Steve pulls out the roots I will use the "bobcat" to move them off site.

As we progress into the building of our off grid passive solar home I will post more pictures and try to answer any questions you may have.
