Finally Set

We finally got the units set. The crew was there for hours and hours. they had to jack em up, drop the wheels and axels and tie down the units. I got to stay the entire time because I had the rented generator and couldn't leave with out it. It got dark around 4 and we hauled out the camp lanterns. The crew worked their behinds off and were finishing up around 8 under a full moon. I am so grateful for beautiful weather, kind neighbors and just good things in general.

Our next step will be to hook everything together with decks and porches. That will have to wait until spring. Winter is no fun up on the mountain.

Need more power

The John Deere wasn't big enough. We switched to a bulldozer. That did the trick. Everything moved quickly after that.

The dozer was especially helpful with the hill. We couldn't get the big unit down it so our neighbor set it down, used to dozer blade to scrape down the hill and then was able to set in place. The only casualty was the sewer pipe.

Small problem. The first tractor is too small. By some miracle we are able to get in touch with another neighbor who has all kind of heavy equipment. He comes by the see what the problem is....He brings the big John Deere...progress is slow.

Please sir may I have another

The second unit had finally been finished and has arrived from Indiana. It looks fantastic. Another tight fit but the driver knows the ropes now. We just don't have a way to move them. We are lucky that our neighbor has a big tractor and is happy to help out.

Kitchen Unit arrives........

Awesome. We have delivery of our first unit. It was a tight fit, but it made it. Our delivery guy commented that he can't place them with his truck where we need them. Arrgh. I think we will end up pushing them at this point. No bad thoughts. Next unit is due next week.

Electricity is close...

After three years of trying, we are now very close to getting electricity. Our neighbor found a guy to put in the conduit for us and set the pads. Now we just need Alleghany Power to do their part. No laughing please.

This is what $7000 of electrical conduit looks like.
