Grading and Power
In the first couple of weeks of November we finished the foundation and had the site graded.
By this time Alan was fully integrated into the concrete crew. 
That's him running the vibrator to settle the concrete.

The last pour of the foundation. The forms have been stripped  Grading behind the house

The power line was installed to the site.

9 poles being delivered The line crew The first pole being set

Which requires trees to be cut for a right of way.
Some trees were just trimmed The right of way crew Some had to be chopped down

Nancy treated both of the the crews to pizza for lunch on one day. 
They said that they liked hot peppers but some of the guys weren't ready for our hot peppers. 
We thought we were going to have to call 911. 
They didn't hold the assault against us and finished the job a couple of days later.

Alan finished the temporary hookup.  It is a real pleasure to have power at our house site without running our generator all the time.
The permanent connection will be under ground from the end of our driveway but for now it is on poles.
