Site Plan Done

The site plan is done. It wasn't quite as hard as I thought. When I looked in the right spot I found the surveyor's stakes, so I was able to get accurate measurements for distance from the edge of the property. I found a description of the property which included dimensions--very helpful. Measuring the buildings was pretty easy. Of great help was the 200' measuring tape a neighbor let me use.

But my favorite find was the satellite photo with (drum roll please) elevation lines! Yea! All I had to do was copy them onto my version. Much easier than running all over trying to figure out when the ground goes up and down and by how many feet.

Every spare minute is spent packing boxes and moving things to the storage shed. Last night we got a bunch of stuff moved. The house is starting to feel empty. We're having an indoor "garage sale" March 28-29 to get rid of as much stuff that won't be used in the "new" house as possible. There is an amazing amount of good stuff we are getting rid of (linens, towels, household items, etc.). Makes me wish I had a house to furnish (not really).

This Saturday the travel trailers arrive. We will be running water, electricity, phone, cable, internet, and sewer lines. Boy are we spoiled in this day and age. We can hardly imagine getting along without most (if not all) of these things.
