Site clearing

Things are moving much faster now that we have our permit. Earlier this week we chose an excavator to get the site prepped for building. By Friday they were already on site clearing trees with their mini excavator. It's amazing how much that little machine can do in a day.

This weekend my brother Danny and I will be working on putting up silt fencing around the perimeter of the site. The silt fencing is used to control any sediment from the construction site from destroying the native vegetation surrounding it.

The excavation crew were kind enough to let Jonah borrow the excavator to help me put up silt fencing this weekend.


On Monday the excavation crew will return with more machinery and start digging the utility trench. It's snowing right now and the weather forecast for Monday is not good. Hopefully it doesn't turn the site into a complete mess.
