not so much

I wish I had more report. I'm in the process of finding a site clearer. One guy came out and walked our outline, but wants me to use flagging spray so he can get a better idea of the size of the area. I think he is primarily a tree cutter, so this may be a big job for him, but it gives him the nice attitude of being careful of surrounding trees, and leaving trees like wax myrtles and mimosas. I was supposed to meet another guy out there this morning, but his kid got sick and needed him. He's the one that was recommended by a friend, so I'm counting on using his bid as a benchmark. Later today I should hear from him, and from a guy who is more 'environmentally friendly'. Its a trend now - using tractors with wide tread to minimize damage, and using machines that cut and grind so you are left with a mulch bed and no haul-away. Nice idea, but I suspect he'll be pricey. We are eager now to have the clearing done so we can really see the site.

All that to say, there's nothing going on at the moment. Waiting to hear from these guys so we can meet at the site for bids, waiting for 84 Lumber to call to say they have my price list, waiting to get the final zoning permit so I can apply for the construction permit...
