Update

Hurray for good weather! Its helped tremendously, even if it is a bit hot now. We found a great swimming spot and go there to cool off most afternoons.

We have our well in, with 100 gallons/minute, so should never run out and it is crystal clear. Our septic system should be done today or tomorrow, so we can move the camper up to the spot near where the house will be by the end of the week. We have a bigger generator, so have been using air conditioning, dishwasher, stove, microwave, etc. The electricity has been a confusing mess, but we think it should be all set now. We got poles a week ago from Fairpoint, but CMP has been hard to figure out, hopefully we will have permanent electricity soon though.

I love the camper, I love living on our land. Its been a good experience so far. The horses are mostly settled, we just need to build one more run-in or small barn by winter and they will be all set. We haven't had time to ride yet though! Then it got so hot. We have been doing Pony Club, but using the farm's ponies since I had hay in my horse trailer. We got that out today, so maybe we can get to a trail ride or something later in the week.

Electricity: Go physically to your regional office tomorrow Morning and don't leave until you have a work order number--you cannot do this over the phone. Without the Work Order Number you will not even be on THE LIST. Once you are on the list the inspector will show up eventually and go over all the details of what is needed at your particular site. The Inspector is the one that then puts you on the Work Schedule. We started the process in August 2006, got the details of what needed to be done in September 2006. Got work finished (much bigger project than yours) in NOV. 2006. Got Power turned on New years eve 2006. Be there when they open the office in the morning.
