Ok, it still needs gravel and a little grading in a few spots, but for the most part our new driveway is in. After you enter the property through the gate, the new driveway bends off to the right. It takes a gently sloping path up past the pond that was the original well and then straight up toward the house before it joins back up with Sinclair Road just below the building site. 
Jayson is getting ready to put the domestic water system in place and asked us to put stakes approximating the location of the house. This will let the septic system designer see where to place the septic field. It will also help Jayson and his team locate the 1,500 gallon cistern that will store the water from the well. They will put a "hydrant" (tap) above the cistern to allow the construction crew access to the water. You can see Carol walking up the path that has been cleared where the water line will be buried as it comes down to the home site.
Alex and Carol just below the spring that will supply our domestic water. It was a very warm day, approximately +8*C. Back in Knutsford it was blowing a gale but as you can see, it was quite calm up in Barnhartvale.
Joey's helping Alex and Mike put the stakes approximating the corners of the house. She just loves the property and runs around like crazy whenever we take her up there. Today, she got out when Alex opened the gate and ran all the way up to the house site. I don't know where she gets the energy!
Carol is standing in what will be the living room. Actually, she is more likely in the basement, below the great room.
