We have a Well!!

Captial Well was onsite this week drilling the well.  As of 9am Friday they were at 300 feet and still going. 

Apparently it is not uncommon for wells to be between 400 and 600 feet in this area. When we were on the property this morning we noticed the well cap.  Will have to find out how far they went.  After the line is run to the house, they will come back and install the pump and then test the water.  We expect to have to install a water softener based on trends in this part of the North Country.

 

 

Materials have been delivered for the framing crew who will be on site Monday.  It is supposed to be in the 60's so hopefully they'll get a lot done!

 

Here is a photo of the paper birch we got cut and stacked last weekend.

And here is some sugar maple that we cut last weekend, but split and stacked today.

Here are the trees up on the South hill. Slowly but surely we are making progress.  It is very tough in parts due to the weight of the trees and some being crossed on top of others.

 

Here is the pile that we split mostly today.

 

Tomorrow, weather permitting, more wood cutting, splitting and stacking!!
