We’ve moved most of our stuff to storage, I’m working on getting my office setup and we’ve got a basic camp setup on the property. We’ll be improving it as we go and pictures will likely follow next week but I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re here and it’s going well.

Wait, that sounds odd.
We have submitted our plans to the county building department and we have our permit number. Thanks the wonders of the modern world, we can now plug our number into a website and watch our plans go through the various steps required for getting our plans approved. Now we just […]
