We have been cutting down trees to get firewood ready for winter. One of the trees had to come down because it is in the way of our power pole that will be installed soon. Adam is loving all of the "lumber-jacking"! He is actually very good at getting the trees cut down and getting them to fall just where he wants them. Today he cut a few trees, one of them was about 50 ft tall and perfect hedge for the wood burner.
We are going to have a factory home built and set on a basement we will have poured next month. The "modular" home is 213% stronger that a standard home and much more efficient. We wanted to start with our solar and wind but apparently you cant finance those "Non Conventional" items so we will have to start with KCP&L and maybe next year we can get the solar and wind installed.
First we will need to get the driveway in for the concrete trucks and that will require 300 tons of rock since we are about 600 ft from the road. The house is built in a factory where they can be out of the weather and have more control over the build with plumbing, wiring, drywall etc. The house its self will be built in 4 weeks then delivered and set on the foundation and then the final touches like, siding, roof and connections to water, electric and propane are finished. We hope to be in by Christmas! It is about 1,400 sq ft all one level with full walkout basement. We were able to make some customizations to it to make a more open floor plan and bigger kitchen.
We are excited to get moved out to the country, we love being out there working and seeing all the wildlife... Adam saved a baby turtle from the busy country road....
