Ready for inspection

Well thanks to our family again for all their help! I think we are close to being ready for Adair to inspect and get started. I just can't believe how much this place has changed in the last few weeks. I know it's kind of hard to see from the pictures so I will try and post some side by side before and after pics to try and show you the changes.

As promised a picture of my father in law on a steep hill, he was moving too fast and I didn't get him at the highest point but it was pretty steep!

My brother in law Matt hauling a tree to the burn pile.

Our friend Matt using his level, one of numerous measuring attempts. I think we finally got it right ;)

You can see Ron at the top of the property clearing trees and brush, but we also made a tier so that there is not such a steep drop off. And there's dad working on burning brush.

I think it's time for some before and after pictures now :)

Here's before the house pad and after. Use the shed in the background for reference. Lots of work got done!

Here's how much of the hillside we had to cut out for our house pad. It was kind of sad to cut all those trees down but we are going to replant some in other places and we saved a lot for our wood stove.

This is a shot from one of the tiers above the house pad.

And now some fun shots, even though the guys were working, the rest of us were enjoying ourselves!
