My retirement goal has been to build a 24′ x 20′ home on a friend’s property. The floor plan coming together, currently at version 2.7.
There is no driveway into the build site, so I’ve been clearing an access. I started with a hand saw, electric grass trimmer and lopper, but have since upgraded to a chain saw and gas powered grass trimmer. There is a bit of a dip in the route so I’ll need to get some help getting it filled in.
NB Power has been by to evaluate the site and say that they can bring in an electrical service from the road. Once I clear a 7.3 m wide 90 m path through the scrub at the front of the property, they will start the application process.
For a foundation, I’ll be using screw piles. A contractor has been in and has provided an estimate. Once the access is finished, they will proceed.
The next bit of planning is to see about getting a well drilled.
