The road that leads to our new life.

Here are some picture of the completed work.  Thought that putting all those pictures in one post might make it too long.  Not that having two seperate posts within a few minutes makes it different, but oh well.

The dam, completely gone... it looks way different, but so good.  I don't think I will miss the blackberry bushes at all.  We have plenty more, just need to make them more accessible.

The drive way goes around the trees and back behind those trees, hidden away.

The pad.  No extra dirt was needed to be brought in to level the area because "Dozer Guy" is awesome and used all that he cut down off the dam for the pad. (Read- no extra dirt=cheaper and we like cheaper)

Here is the pile of trees that were bulldozed down, including a mulberry tree that I didn't know what was till it was too late to save it.  Oh well.

Here is one giant tree...  Amazing what they can do...

Mark came by and got the deed so that he can get the building permits and said that someone would probably be out today or tomorrow to do a perk test(not 100% sure what that is or if thats how you spell it) but it has to do with the septic system.  If our soil perks then we can use the cheaper regular septic system.  If it does not then we will have to do the more expensive aerobic system.  After gravel comes the footing, so we are coming right along!  YEA!!!
