Spring Starts -

Spring is around the corner in Sullivan County NY and we are ready to build some real estate. First we got to put in the driveway with some big trucks and big rocks, cut and burn some big trees, and then dig a big hole in the ground for the new Cottage 8 in Barryville NY.

Here's a picture after excavator dug the big hole, and the mason laid his forms for his 10"x20" footings - the foundation of the house.


This is an incredibly early start for us - made possible by good cash-flow, lots of interest in our homes and the availability of good labor now that the economy has slowed.

And just down the street is this rushing river, rushing for no particular reason from Schumacher Pond to the Delaware River.
