A little update...

It's been a busy end of summer (though we have sun again today and maybe 75 tomorrow which is welcome, I wasn't ready for rain and low 60s to set in yet!). The plumber, electricians and framers have been busy running wires, window framing and piping all over the place. From the outside you'd never know anything is happening but trust me, as the one who cleans up in the evenings, things are progressing! ;-)

The excavators were back to do the septic, run the electric lines including the line out to the pasture for the solar panels, water lines etc... Here is a picture taken by our friend Doug who flies a special ultra-light plane and likes to do fly-bys in the evening when the winds are dying down.

It's fun to see basically the entire property down to the stream on the far left. The gravel lines are the septic drain area and then the silt fence. We worked madly last Monday to get the root barrier and then special soil on top of the garage roof, and then realized we put the root barrier on upside down so I spent a couple days last week shoveling the soil around and flipping it ;-)

While we wait for the windows and doors to come, I'm working on staining the cedar shingles that will cover about a third of the house, and getting organized to plant the green roof, reseed the trench areas, plant some fruit and nut trees if I can get around to it, and do some garden prep before the rains really set in. Wish me luck!
