Flint and Jubilee construction is underway. It has taken a while to get to this place and I intended to keep you all up to date. But too much going on and no internet at the RV made it near impossible.
The last week in May and the First week in June I was teaching in California. Jen ended her time with Primary Children's Hospital the end of May and joined me in California. During May I was able to get 35 Ponderosa pine trees, cut down and stacked out of the way. I hired two men, one with a John Deere Excavator the other with a Bobcat to level us a building pad.
We were able to get water and electricity hooked up, but no internet. Then the two weeks in California. Since we have been back we have installed the septic tank, took a weekend out to celebrate with Derek and Amy at their reception in Salt Lake City, and now we are working on the foundation. We had the footers dug on Tuesday and today we started getting ready to form them up.
I am going to post a few pictures, I will attempt to find a place to upload all the pictures for everyone who is interested to see.
This is our log lifter. It weighs 20,000 pounds and will lift 6000 pounds 33 feet. It is an old one, 1982, but I think we got a good deal on it. I have already had one person show some interest in buying it when we are done with it.
These are pictures of our house pad. The chair is for Jennifer to sit in while she supervises my work. Ha! any of you who know her knows she doesn't sit down while work is going on. She goes out at night and watches the stars. That is the best place because I cut down the trees.
Finally, for tonight anyway, this is one of the piles of rocks we have collected as we have dug utility lines and leveled the house pad.
