Week Four - Batter Board & Tree Cutting


Phase One - Week of 6/23/08 - We ran out to the property yesterday and today and have evidence that our foundation guys have been there. Our Porto potty is finally getting some use and soft drink cans & other trash are littering the brow! The stakes in the ground are now hooked to lots of string and boards surrounding where the house will be and we can see the elevation of the prowl area (looks about 7 feet high, but is actually about 5.) We are having hot tub visions. Our builder, Sammy, came out and told us we had to cut down over 20 more trees so that the logging trucks can get it. We also don't have enough room for the entire packet to be delivered at once, so he is going to talk to our log home company about making an extra trip. We really like Sam, by the way. He is very responsive, easy to work with, a perfectionist, and a great builder (we've seen his homes & spoken with the owners). He is also going to do most of our subcontracting.
