Land

So, we finally bought some land. After much searching and comparing we found a really nice piece of southwest facing hillside (south facing is a big deal up here as we get so little sun in the winter and south means sun) Its 5.2 acres of large, old growth birch, alder and white spruce about 10 minutes from town. We've been working to clear out a driveway lane and garage pad. We're going to try and get the driveway in before snow flies this year which is getting nearer by the day. Once spring sets in (this seems so far away right now) we're going to get a garage put up that should be able to double as a good cabin. If all goes well then we'll be living out there by next summer. A house will follow over the next little while. Who knows what it will end up being, but we know we want a sauna, treehouse, house house, garage and garden.
