Fall - Finally!

We haven't been to the land in over 3 weeks, due to having to redo a bathroom in our house. We are preparing the house to put on the market, and in the course of painting a bathroom, Mike decided to pick up a loose floor tile and look under it. Oh such a bad decision. Three weeks or more later though, we do have a very nice newly tiled floor, a freshly painted white cabinet and a brand new sink and light fixture. Needed to be done, but sorely got in the way of playing at the property.

Finally this weekend we managed to sneak away, and even managed to talk Adam into going with us. The more the merrier, there's a lot to do up there. I have to say, the upper 60's, lower 70's was a great relief after the many upper 90 days we spent working up there this summer. The leaves showed some color, giving us our first glimpse of what living out there will be like in the fall.

The majority of the day Adam was leveling the still rutted land while Mike and I sighted and marked where the fence will go. Adam's first statement after he made the first round on the tractor (which we now call Bob), was 'Yeah, I gotta get me one of these'.

We got 2 sides of the property marked for fencing, and are really looking forward to getting that fence up. Hoping in the next few weeks to get the corner posts put in (may be taking up some of those offers to help ... Andrew). I'm sure we'll have a perfect fence...

Maybe...

It was a really fun day. We had a picnic lunch on the back of the trailer. It's 16ft long, about as big as my dining room so it was perfect. We managed somehow to get back out and work a little more after that, rather than stretch out and take a nap.

We are getting our drawings marked up this week to get back to the architects, and we have a list of builders to interview. It's getting pretty exciting, the plan is to start building in Spring, and there's a lot to do between now and then.

Next Saturday we plan to go play, uh, work again getting a little closer to fencing day.
