Slash and burn


Clearing is almost done and now we can get a rough idea of what our yard will look like. It was tough to get the burn pile started with all the wet wood, but once it got going it burned quickly. We still have a boatload of cottonwood logs to get rid of. Anyone want some?

As you can see the ground is still littered with roots and other brush. The excavator will grub this to make it nice and even.

The house is going to be built just in front of where the burn pile is.

Meanwhile, Heather and I are staying busy getting other details squared away. I think it takes about 120 different trades to build a house, and now we have to find one of each to hire.

Think of it as 120 different quests. Your goal is to keep as much gold as possible while maintaining high standards. Try not to do any quest twice otherwise you lose valuable time.
