Panels and Grading and Propane

Lots happening around the cabin. A couple of weeks ago, the solar panels started going up on the roof. 

This week they are wiring up the panels; theoretically there will be power to the electrical panel this weekend! The other rails on the right are for solar hot water, which also should be going up soon.


New Grading
Also this week we regraded the area in front of the house in hopes that it'll drain better this winter. By the house the ground has raised up about a foot or more. There are several inches of compacted gravel, so hopefully this will drain well. You can also see where the holes we dug have become deck footings, which will hopefully be built in September.














Fancy Drive


We had extra gravel, so they put it on the last bit of the road, so now our driveway is all fancy.















Propane tank

 At the same time, they dug the trench for a propane tank and the propane company came out and set that on a pad back in the woods a bit. So hopefully we'll have that all plumbed in shortly as well, which means we can finally have a range for cooking.
