Getting on the Land

Our next step is to get on the land. We need to get out from paying rent so that we can devote everything we can to New England road. We have recently put an RV on the site and will ready it for the extended stay it will require to make our home.

Since I started this post offline some weeks ago, we experienced an intense storm season. A lot of trees blew down in the area and we have delayed improvements on the RV and are spending our free time collecting downed trees from adjacent and other local properties to be sawed into posts and beams for our house. Our friend Mark lent us a log trailer and our friend Scott has made his van available to use for moving the logs. We hired Mark to mill the three trees we harvested last November and will hire him again to mill the logs we are collecting now. Thanks to George, Doris, Pat and Alan for making their downed trees available. These trees are truly a windfall for us and we may be able to gather most of the lumber we will need for our house over the next several weeks. We hope to make some progress on the RV also and be able to move there soon.
