More Building news


Well today we got the tractor again and I set about doing some work filling the trenches and then I was going to level the Building site, only OPPS!!! I cracked the PVC water pipe so I had to spend the whole afternoon fixing my mistake. Going to call  a professional excavator and let him handle the site prep. 
The reason we could fill the trenches was because we got the first Phase of the Electric done, moving the underground Splice Box and removing the power pole.

We also moved our Trailer over that we will be living in once our house sells.

A lot is going on!!


Well I have been busy with the building, Ben came down and we got our "GREEN TAG" on the meter base and the PUD should be out next week to do their thing and put power to the new meter.
Parker Building came down and after locating where the post should be we found that the building would not work as planed, but by just rotating it slightly it would. They still don't see being able to start on our building until August, which is getting closer all the time.
The next thing for me is rent a pavement cutter and get ready to remove the area of blacktop which would be under the new building, plus make a channel for the rain water run off.

Mean while; back in the garage: The pick is running and I have it ready to pull the trailer.
Everything is hooked up and working and I have even taken it for a really short test drive.
I wasn't perfect with the shortened driveline, it has a vibration, so now I'm waiting for a new Professional built driveline.





In the mean time; we have a new logo for our toys:
It was Rosie's idea, and my design (WHAT A TEAM).
We took the Lebaron to the Gleneden Beach Parade and were chosen to haul the GRAND  MARSHALL
