Slowly making progress

We've been working on the land some. We are trying to dry the trees that will have to be removed while standing up. To do that we got a couple draw knives and have been girding trees. Hopefully they will dry sooner then later. Unfortunately many of the trees are diseased by mistletoe on the land and they will eventually die. We are really hoping to be able to use the wood for maybe some furniture and within the house.

One building has been completely removed and the strange diseased 10x20 cabin has mostly been removed. We are going to recycle the metal. Once we get the roof off hoping that the snow and rain will wash away the rest of the mouse evidence. Our daughter just loves being on the land digging in the dirt, finding sticks, and exploring.

We are meeting with another architect on Monday and then the third candidate the following week.

The current thought for the Quonset layout is for 2 floors. 3 bed 2.5 bath. The main floor will have a large room that will initially be used for storage until we figure out the garage situation and then will be converted to a rec room. There will be an open kitchen/living room that will get all the light from the south facing windows. Plan for a wood burning stove along with the hydronic radiant in floor heating.

Lots of planning and prepping yet to do, but it is an exciting journey. As always, feel free to ask questions or leave a comment!
