On our land

So Kris and I are finally on our bit of land. Well not quite on as in living there, but our friend, Doug, has been making a drive and clearing some space for the last few months. Up until now we could only walk on the land with our gumboots and at after at least a week without rain. We bought 8 acres last year with the hopes of building a home on it one day. It's about a ten minute walk from the house we live in now. These pictures are from a few months ago- it looks very different now. I'll post more photos as developments occur. We're looking at the 2-5 year plan of actually living on the land and selling the house.

A very big hole. Digger-driver Doug gets the gravel from deep deep down to bring to the surface so the land can be hard enough to drive/ walk on. Otherwise it's a very muddy, wet section- a swamp really. We've found a few main creeks that we'll (well Kris really but I'm sure I'll help in some way) figure out a way to divert and control a bit so they maybe even flow all together to create a wicked pond. I'm not actually too sure. Kris has a better idea so only time will tell really.
