I went and marked some trees to be taken out for the ROW and the dirt contractor was digging so hopefully with no rain he will be done this week.

That will be a great view for you!!!!
The house pad sure is something too. It must be done that way for safety's sake. Hope you never need it. If it water ever got that high, I sure would be panicking.

I got the grass planted today so hopefully we will get some rain soon and get it started before the cool front start coming our way.

Thanks, the grass is coming up and i just signed an oil and gas lease on the property so that is great news. I also put a deposit on a pole barn 30x50 and we started the plans for our home. Only one problem the land man is up to his old tricks again. The land guy wouldn't return the utility guys phone calls so he called the land guys boss to get him to sign off on the plans for the ROW. The big boss said this is suppose to be underground not overhead and he said he told the land guy that from the get go. I talked to the land guy and he said his boss never told him that so who knows this guy is getting on my nerves. The utility company is coming back out this week to measure again for underground to see what the cost is. They were going to do the over head for free but now i have to pay. It will be all worth it in the end but DANG they are testing my nerves. My next hurdle will be getting the building permit for the pole barn wish me luck.LOL

Well we finally got a price on going underground and it wasn't nearly as much as i thought thank god. I am just waiting on them to write it up so we can get it signed and start running the power.

Yes it will be, i just wish they would get their act together and let each other know what each other is doing. Hopefully this is the end of the ROW problems so we can move on.

Well we got all the new paper work complete for the underground utilities so hopefully they sign it next week. They will be delivering my pole barn on the 24th so that's good news. I got the permit to build the pole barn and it went pretty smooth imagine that lol. We should have the house plans finished in a week or 2 so that's exciting i am looking forward to moving on my property and drinking coffee on my porch
watching the wildlife.

That's good news WIH. Will the pole building go on the new pad? Can they build the house on the pad as is, or is there some special process that it has to go thru because of it being "new/piled" dirt?
I noticed in your recent photos that one side of the pond's bank is wet and the other is dry. Is each side wicking up differently?

Yes the pole barn and house will be on the same pad the pad is 100 feet wide and 200 feet long. We compacted the pad on each layer as it was being built up and its hard as a rock. I think the bank got more sun then the other side. LOL
