Waiting

Waiting for the tree clearing permit, waiting for the surveyor's plan of the house on the lot, waiting for quotes, waiting for drawings to be amended. I just want to get started but we have to be patient for a little while.

Some good news though. We got the percolation test results back, and apparently our land drains really well so we will only need the most basic sceptic tank.

I put a new chain on my chainsaw and it cuts through logs like a hot knife through butter again. You have to be careful that the blade never touches the ground for a second or it gets blunt real quick. I chopped up some felled trees at the weekend and stacked them up to dry, and in about a year they will be ok to burn. We may as well make good use of the trees we fell, although we are hoping to use some to make our floor boards and maybe make some into lumber for other projects.
