Week 1: Let's get this party started!

We've begun! We are going to take a photo at the end of each week to show how everything is progressing. Here is our first one...



and some of our improvements...

one is our lovely new toilet



The other is the silt fence, which protects the site and it's flora from erosion, as well as preventing dirt from the construction from running off of our site to the road below or onto other sites. Here are the materials we started out the week with (you can still see some snow from last weekend).

Plastic barrier for Silt Fence



Here you can see the fence in place at one edge of our site.



Here you can see some of the bottom of the fence from the road below our site, but even better is the amazing mountain laurel.



This weekend Melanie and I installed the permit box (a plastic thing that you store the permits and plans in) and looked at some paint samples we made. It was in the 70s, quite a change from last weekend!

Here's a cool looking rock outcropping on the road below our site.



A view of the mountains from the wooden swing up Creston Drive. The snow has mostly melted at this point.



This week has been nuts, but we will post a more informative one next week.
