Clearing

Well... at least 1 thing was completed. The area for the house has now been cleared. This would not have been done nearly as fast as it was without the help of my Dad! We got the trackhoe delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 26 at 8AM. By the end of the day on Tuesday, we had cleared the remainder of the driveway and had most of the yaupon stumps removed as well as a few small trees. I was able to get off work on Wednesday as well. We were able to remove all the trees from where the house is going to sit. On Thursday and Friday while I was at work, my dad was able to remove all the root balls from the 10 or so trees we removed on Wednesday and bury them towards the back of the clearing. Saturday and Sunday we removed the remainder of trees that would be too close to the house and stacked them to the side. Hopefully, they guy who is going to purchase the timber will be out this week to pick it up. Maybe there will be a little progress made on the replat as well...


These are from the first day of clearing.








I don't know why but the image of the person cracked me up.




And from the last day of clearing











Where all the root balls and brush are buried.
