Delayed

 

As you’ll see in a moment from the photos, winter just doesn’t want to give up as yet in the Northwoods. Marc checked out our property about ten days ago and there was lots of snow left. We just did get rid of the last of it here in Waupaca but the ground is still frozen or a muddy mess so we still haven’t been able to retrieve our new trailer from its current campground. About the middle of March we needed to visit it so Marc could shovel snow off its roof as we feared it was getting too heavy.


All of this will put us substantially behind on our start for the build season. In addition, from the looks of the property, there are now many downed trees which will first need to be taken care of before we can even access it with the larger trailer. Marc estimates May before we can gain access to the lot to get started. As you can note from the picture of our gate, which is about two feet off the ground level, it’s definitely going to be awhile! At least it appeared as though the RV made it just fine through winter under its new shed although the flatbed trailer didn't get through unscathed. Yes, that's two trees that fell on it....












It's been a long winter!
