A little over a week ago, Josh and I met to tackle the last stump that we could not remove with the Bobcat. Since we had expended our funds for this part of the project, we were left to use little more than our hands to pull it out. Well, that’s a bit of an exageration. We use a saws-all and a chainsaw to help us finally removed that stump.

I still have yet to hear final word about our building being transfered to VT property. But I believe at this point, the VSP rep assumes it is ours since he gave me the key at our meeting more than a month ago. I have been talking with him to get a drawing of the recommended foundation for the building and I got that last week. We’ll use this drawing to plan a concrete pad for the pre-fab building to sit on.

I’ll also be submitting our application for a modification to our license for the STL path. We’re nearing the end of our allowable timeline for filing this appplication, so it’s a good idea to get it done now.

So up-and-coming is some more gravel work as well as digging for the foundation. We’ve allocated funds for this part of the project so no more digging out things by hand! Once the foundation is in place, I can take the person who will be transporting our new building up to the site so that there are no surprises in the building’s transport. And then it is on to bigger and better things (namely, getting Edd and all the other electronics in).
