Week 16: The roller coaster ride continues to offer thrills and trepidation each day. The roof is on, windows and doors are in. Tim is working on soffits and trim so we can side and get the gutters on this week. That will help with washout from rain. The progress is starting to be visible. I have been battling with Eversource for 8 weeks to get power to the property. We purchased a generator, but we are limited until we get the new panel and service to the site.
Because I sorely needed to see progress I started to landscape the perimeter where we are done with digging and grading. This is my passion and working the dirt and bringing in plant materials gave me much needed gratification. We built a fence at the front and I started planting garden and grass. I designed two large berms amidst swaths of ground covers and put two pads of lawn in the middle for rolling around in. We will have to mow but I want to have it be a 30 minute mow. A mature landscape takes years but I am pushing this along as quickly as possible. I am going to resubmit to Zoning for garage variance. That will take another big push on my part to get all the paperwork in order and brace myself for the resubmission. Wish me luck!
Our last dance...
