Things are happening around here.
The crew was in yesterday to get things ready for construction (they can't actually start yet, pending permit but there's lots can be done to get ready).
And get ready they did.
They dug holes and put the tubes in but can't fill them; that has to wait for the permit.
They cleared tree stumps and rocks and got the landscape ready.
They shortened the roof overhang at the deck that's been waiting all these years to be repaired (bonus!), AND repaired the eavestroughing along the porch roof while they were at it (double bonus!).
John still has a few other "fix-ups" that he'll have them take care of while they're here too.
There was lots of clearing had to be done to make a new road for John to get to the woods since my sanctuary/grandson room will kind of encroach on his previous route. He just wanted a clearance to allow him to get through, nothing fancy you realize. But this guy doesn't do inferior work. John will have damned near a highway up through there now.
The crew appreciated the steady supply of drinking water as the heat was unbearable throughout the day, and we invited them to join us for lunch (life in the country!).
Anyway, the day was put to good use in preparation for the real job and now we are in wait mode until the permit is issued (and that can't come soon enough, let me tell you).
John tells me that the larger tree to the left was supposed to come out (he guesses they forgot). Apparently it's dead, thanks to the many woodpeckers that entertain us, and it will fall down on my new room if it isn't removed. You can be sure I'll be reminding them to take that tree down!
