Burning out a Juniper root.


Colin contemplating his dock.....I have been told this is a necessary step.


Me and my cement mixer.

The result of the contemplating.


We spent some time this morning fiddling around with a house plan but we still have a long way to go. We really need to get the large rock cleared to establish just exactly how much room we have to build on.

When we went down to the water Colin started working on the dock and I embarked on the building of a Cement mixer and putting together a chainsaw. Both went together relatively easy although I needed Colin's help to adjust the tension of the chainsaw blade.......don't want to screw that up or someone could loose an arm.

After that I cleared away the last of the brush and burned most of it. Now I just have to scrape the moss off the rocks.

It was a tiring day but all worthwhile. Luke and Shelly are suppose to arrive later tonight with the new Generator.
