Had to add a pic with sunshine for all you doubters! And it was for more than 5 minutes, and yes it was today, not last summer! We are working on the skirting (must be a female home) and woodstove next. Added a pic of the burner for Micah and Ryan...HA!!

Everything but power...

Sorry folks, no pics today...but we do have an address! We received our zoning permit and with it, an address - 9525 Snow Goose Rd. Why is that important? Because, "when" the utility company finally gets around to installing the power polls (after many calls...I totaly understand the phrase "only God knows"), we will receive the all important METER BASE!

Tank Time at the Property

Each day brings us a little closer to moving in...today the sewer system was installed.

More Pics

By popular demand, we posted a few more pics although we don't have Peter's "super pics" yet. The move aged Lenard another 10 years....

Goodby Clover Pass Church parking lot....

hello Mud Bight Subdivision...

and pray some more...

made it, now the hill...

up and over...

the creek "looking out by door"...

on the pad at last!

HOME IS MOVED!!!!!!

We moved the home today and one hour after it was set on the pad, the snow came. We will post more pics of the move real soon.

and then there was the storm.......

We just had a major wind storm, so of course we wanted to see how the trees fared at the property. We discovered several new trees down including the ones in our driveway....

so we did the only sensible thing....called in the professional with his brand new Stihl chain saw.

And our little creek had become a real torrent.

Can we say "Increments?!"

OK, so the progress is in increments...but we like increments, don't ya know!

Today Peter and I moved the water tank onto the property,

and we had help setting the anchors for the home,

and we will move the home onto the property this Friday. Hope the electricity boys will be setting poles and stringing wire soon! Hello, it's getting cold outside...

While we wait....

Septic and power poles have been engineered, now we wait for the required permits.

In the meantime:

we have been making intercession for our community – even in the wind and rain,

and Debbie set up for her first Health Fair,

and we even have time for some fun - like comparing noses. HA!

Completed!

Yahoo! Today, the pad was completed and leveled.

Today, the Utility boys were inspecting the property in preperation for insatlling electricity

Can we say "HAPPY!" Yes we can.

We can move our home onto the pad just as soon as possible next week! Hey, who wants to help block the little unit.....come on over, and bring a level!

Out my back door.....so to speak.

This morning I was treated to a wonderful sunrise greeting the new day.....and a reminder that, regardless of what the calander may indicate, winter is upon us here in Southeast Alaska....pictured by a troller out hunting "winter" King Salmon.
