ELECTRICITY

The electricity is in!!  We are so excited!

 Poles are in!

Power lines are up!

We also put in a few T Posts to close in the property where the gate will go.  It was too cold to install the gate with concrete, and work with barbed wire, so we'll get to that next time!

DRIVEWAY

Life at the Little Frog Ranch has been moving along, slowly but surely!  Our priority of late has been to get the driveway entrance installed.  Because our address is on a state highway, we had to request and obtain a special permit for the driveway entrance.  That process took more than a month.  We will have to share the driveway entrance with our neighbor, and once the entrance reaches the fence line, our driveway will split off into our property so we can have a fence dividing our property from our neighbors. 

BEFORE

We cut the front fence to install the driveway entrance.  We were required to put out traffic cones and construction signs at specific places along the road.

 

We had gravel delivered for the surface of the driveway entrance.

 We rented a skidsteer to dig the entrance to the required depth before adding the gravel, then used it to fill in the gravel.  

Next we need to put in the gate and install fencing along the side to separate our property from the neighbor.  While we continue to work on the gate/fencing, we are also in the process of getting electricity to our property!  The tall and short electric poles in the above picture are on our neighbor's side of the property line, so we will have our own electric poles added very soon toward the middle front of our property!
