Dry Ditch Cleared (Mostly)
It took me a few days, but I did get the front 800 feet, or so, cleared.
Such a Purty view!
Water
Well, I was hoping I would be able to say that we will have municipal water available via the extension of the water main to our property…I went to the township meeting, and, after two hours of sitting through all of the township business, my request for municipal water came up for discussion. It look good for a few minutes until the discussion took up the possibility that the road may be damaged and some questions about easement. The bottom line; my proposal was tabled until more research could be done. Not dead, but delayed. Oh well.
Dry Ditch
It would be nice if the ditch would stay dry, like this, most of the time. Now, I have to start clearing the ditch to aid drainage. Hand me my pick and shovel!

Jed Clampett’s new digs
I think I’ll move now that I got a roof over my head. Come on by and sit a spell.
He may be dangerous...
Don't get too close! He may bite
Yep, Jed is settling in for a good sit.
Naw! He looks perfectly harmless.

Where are the dinosaurs?
Imagine the Flinstones, nearby, wandering in the weeds forest

Look at this strange mushroom/toadstool. Does anyone dare to take a bite?

Septic System Approved
On June 24th I met with the Berrien County Appeals Board; Pleaded my case and received an unanimous approval of a mound septic system. Let the digging begin!
