Electricity to…….going off grid

[Sir Henry]

I have three threads going on and they overlap. Here the guys are trenching for the electric work.

Yesterday I had four different neighbors stop and check out what I’m doing. The new RVport catches the most attention and they wanted to see it up close.

^^^^^^^^^

Not surprised you're getting visitors, that pic of the RV port from the side is wonderful. The boulders, flower pots and bench really make it look homey.

More trenching is getting done. Everyone is in t-shirts because it’s so warm in the sunshine.

It’s not even the best picture.

Love the progress of the trenching effort but man, it sure tears up the beauty of your place. Yes, I know it will return to the original look, ma nature does wonderful things on restoration.

The main reason I wanted to do it this fall was so it could winter over. These tracks are 1to 2 inches deep. This winter when the freeze goes 2 to 4 FEET deep it will loosen everything back up in the spring and will be gone.

I’ll run over this with my tractor and level it more. By the second time I mow next spring you won’t be able to see anything.

Rain and snowmelt will clean this.

I have my tractor grading blade on backwards and it really levels every without digging in to the ground. It works great for pushing snow around too.

Thanks forty it’s a labor of love fixing this place up. Even the old time locals like what I’m doing.

Looking good Alice. That’s great that the local old timers are approving your improvements. Sometimes that can be a hurdle. However, speaking on behalf of the HRF crowd we approve of the upgrades and applaud your designs and efforts.
