Quick trip to the Fifty Acre Wood to pay the workers. Progress is going well, they have touched all easement areas, just lacking a few big trees and final stump cuts. 

For my share of the day, I completed all framing and dirt work for the firewood rack. I now just need to add the roof.

The past week we have had two crews working on two separate projects; easement clearing and general land cleanup. the easement clearing started Thursday and these guys really got after it. We needed 26 feet of road frontage cleared to run electricity, problem is we already had a fence installed. Other contractors wanted us to dismantle the fence to clear the easement, the crew we selected would work around the fence. After two days they were about 2/3 complete and we had a surplus of logs.

  

The general land cleanup involve removing dead trees and clearing our view to the pond and removing stumps where the barn will be constructed. This crew had most of this work completed upon my arrival.

It's good to see progress. Most of my day was spent with the easement crew. I would help them fell the trees then use the tractor to haul the logs off the easement onto our property.

Got a late start today and when I arrived at the land Antonio had already dropped one load of dirt. Over the next 3 hours he would deliver the remaining two loads. In the meantime I started working on leveling the area for the wood rack once that was done then I started assembling the wood rack. I got the framing all complete now I just need to assemble the decking and the roof and the wood rack will be done.

I also talked to Antonia about removing tree stumps and knocking down the eight trees for price of $2,100. I also struck a deal with a guy Rudy know that will cut down the trees along the fence line on our property and the Lafavors for $7000.
