Hey eraly riser,
I am doing the very same thing you are but further along. A bit of advice from some one whos been there. Stay on top of that Core permitt, they can be very difficult at times and EXTREEMLY slow....
. I bought a tract about that size about 30 miles strait up north of you. I have been through the entire process of going through the Core of have to work for it call them often to see where it is.
On contracting work, what are you getting quoted for your dirt moving? I am getting $1.25 per Cubic yard. But on his next projects he is going up. The guy I am using is named Manuel Wheatly, I would bet you could not find a more experianced and more fair person to do the work. I tell he has done an Awsome job on my lake. He has just over a week left to finish the work, and he will be done. It has taken over a month total so far to do the work. My lake, when finished, will be around 30 feet deep and 9 acres in size....
