Clearing the Trees

SEE THE TELEPHONE POLES...
SEE THE TREES UNDER THE TELEPHONE POLES...
SEE TED CUTTING THE TREES...

SEE NORM STACKING THE WOOD FROM THE TREES UNDER THE TELEPHONE POLES...
SEE OLGA AND TAYLOR GATHER THE WOOD THAT WAS CUT FROM UNDER THE TELEPHONE POLES...
SEE HOW BARE IT IS UNDER THE TELEPHONE POLES...BECAUSE THE ELECTRIC COMPANY DEMANDS THAT THE GROUND BE CLEARED BEFORE THEY WILL PUT THEIR POWER LINES ON TOP OF THE TELEPHONE POLES!!

It took 4 days of very hard work to clear these trees. We had 3 men with chain saws and 3 women clearing out and stacking what the men cut. I fell on the last morning and sprained my wrist. That took me out of the action and several days later it still hurts. I'm grateful that I didn't break my wrist. There is still so much to do.

And here it is! The all important GREEN TAG! This means power can now be brought into our property and in 3 weeks, we'll have ELECTRICITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh, by the way, the trench is being dug between the septic tank and the house, and these are some of the boulders being dug up.
Stay tuned!

Good grief! Who would think you'd have to clear the land for electric?!?
