Foundation Posts
It’s been a busy week! With not much of a break. Thursday Peter and I spent the morning staking out the foundation. Then in the afternoon, we put in 4 posts. These prefab sona tubes are really tricky. You have to fiddle with it so much to get it spot on. It might take us…

Beauty in the Woods
Today, Pete is scheduled to recieve the excavator rental. He has also planned to camp out on the property tonight in the hope of conserving fuel (because we all know its too much right now!). Together we spent the morning making sure he had everything we could think of. This will be his first experience…

Cutting down the hill.
Lately the days haven’t been all that eventful. We’ve partially cleaned out the container to make it easier for us to access the yurt in the back. Pete found J’s drone. This led to all sorts of experimental flights with the Osmo camera mounted on it (Video footage of the property from the sky will…

Digging out roots.
Roots… Trees need them grow nice and tall. They feed the tree, keep the tree standing in blustery winds, and help keep soil in place so that other vegetation can benefit. However, roots are no fun when you are trying to put in a foundation. We as humans have learned (the hard way) that our…

Prep For A Day…

Battery Packs Arrived

Cut, Pile, Burn, Repeat!
It feels like a never ending cycle. Cut the trees, pile the brush into a corner, burn said brush and repeat. This cycle has been made a bit more frustrating with the burn restrictions in Nova Scotia. At 2 pm they update wether or not it’s safe ro burn. There are 3 stages: green for…

Special Delivery!
Today it came! Oh my! So excited!!! We ordered starlink back in January. They estimated that we’d get it by the fall. For us that would work perfectly. The summer would be busy enough with building etc. Any videos we make could be uploaded later at my in-laws. We imagined we could make it work…

New mugs!
Pete and I really like our coffee. Bringing our coffee to the property when we are working is a necessity! Lucky for us, our sister in-law owns an engraving business and had a plethora of mugs to choose from. We sent over the “Clearly East” logo and had her engrave it for us. We love…
