Jim also is starting to plan out a concrete pour around the house. This pour won't be as easy to prepare for since we use the garage bays. He has the side line marked...
Jim also did some truck work. Jim ordered a new acceleration cable for the truck over the weekend and wants to replace that when it comes in. He only got one interested person from the listing in the Albany craigslist and that guy didn't want to negotiate on price. Everybody always wants something for nothing. Over the weekend, Jim listed the truck in the New York City craigslist as well as on eBay. He already has one person who has emailed him from the craigslist add and over 200 people have looked at the ad on eBay! So we're hopeful...
The tree butcher (our new name for him) was back today, crushing my hopes that he was done cutting down trees. At the end of the day, we went exploring again. Jim wanted to find the back pin on our property. That leg of the property (it's a different shaped parcel) is over 800' so Jim tried walking in a straight line back from the pin midway back estimating distance. Not easy - at some point, the stone walls get destroyed since it's on a big hill so you can't follow those. But we actually came out pretty close and found the pin...
Thankfully, it's no where near where they are timbering but we are still keeping our eyes open to see what's happening. It's odd because it appears that they are working on a few different properties - we just want them to stay away from ours!
Walking through the woods is such a magical thing - plus you see some crazy things. Like this...
And how trees grow over stumps...
