As you can see the wall is almost done. It looks rather bare as all the vegetaion in front is gone. We waited and waited all day for the county engineer to come and talk to me. I was upset at the mess they had made along our road. They brushed the side of the road and killed all of the small pine trees that Wendy and Lance planted so many years ago. Then some of the bog trees were camaged. Uncle Wayne, Lynn, Lyle, and Tim were there for the meedting. He finally said he would be there at 6:45 and he was a half hour late. He said the County had made our road a prescriptive road and they were able to do what they wished to improve it. The forest service gave them $60,000 to improve the county roads to the forest entry ways so they were working on Henderson, Grove and Patterson where we live. It doesn't do much to argue with them but he promised that there would be no more damage to our trees and along the road in front of our home. The easment isn't really on our property. They were supposed to build a road directly up from the boys road but it can't be done because of the hills, creek, etc, in the way. I told them to go ahead with the gravel which was not supposed to be here until Monday.
Then at 3:00 on Thursday guess who should appear but the grater and 5 big trucks. We had planned on coming home but this changes our plans. Then we couldn't get out for awhile if we had wanted to. They are supposed to put 16 1/2 loads of gravel on the whole road up to the forest line. They put 10 loads on the road from when you come in to our cabin. When I left at 2:15 on Friday they hadn't come back to finish but Matt came just as we were ready to come home so that changed our plans again. After Matt unloaded a load of gravel behind the retaining wall he went back for another load and I came home and left Dad up there.
I stood out by the road to make sure they were careful. See this big truck unloading right before our cabin. On the next blog I will show you how it looks when I left today. (Friday 20)

What a fortress! Our cabin looks like a massive castle waiting to be stormed. That is quite the wall - I think it looks great. I'm glad you complained and got some results from the county, also. The gravel will be nice in front of the cabin.
ReplyDeleteWOW, the cabin looks a lot different with the trees gone and the wall up. Koria and Kimball are worried that they won't be able to get into the cabin over the wall. I tried to explain it to them, but they'll just have to see it in person.
