Now the fun...loading logs and removing stumps


Logger...one more tree down


Logs and more Logs

Trees export grade


How hard could this be...right?


Let the chips fly



Paul cutting down a tree...with a little help
Let her fall

Yesterday the trees fell on our property. The loggers asked Paul if he wanted to fall a tree, which he did in style . They completely cut down all of the trees that we had marked and suggested a few more that were unmarked be removed because they were old and showed some decay. We left trees at the front of the property and of course there are 6 acres of woods behind us that are currently listed as "wet lands". For those "Tree Huggers" there are still plenty of trees around us. Today we meet to decide where the house will sit on the property. I'm hopeful that even though we now have neighbors close by, we can position the house to block our views of them and they of us.

Paul and I have always LOVED living in our "little house in the woods". But now that our kids are gone, we are looking forward to having a new adventure in our new "Home Sweet Home"...This blog is to chronicle the adventures of building a new house. We hope that when we are all done you will all come and fill our house with JOY.
