Getting ready to clear the trees and stumps.


Remember the path.

The cutting of the big pines.

A lot of wood chips to use.

A lot of work to clean up the area.

A few of the logs waiting to be made into paneling.

Only one of the wood chip piles. Lots of fun to come.

You can see the lake!

Progress is still on schedule.

The house is starting to look more like a house all the time.  The roof trusses have been put into place and there should be sheeting on all of the roof in one week.  (Weather permitting)  This means that all the support boards can be removed from inside and there won't be a maze of boards to walk through anymore.All the geothermal wells are drilled and connected.  The construction driveway is in, and the cars won't have to jump into the garage anymore.  Over all, the build is going well.  I have added more pictures and more will be coming as things progress.
