A couple hurdles out of the way in the past two days. The NB Power service tech dropped by yesterday to stake out the service poles for the site. He pointed out two additional trees that should be removed, so I cut them down. I finally found an available electrician who will be submitting the forms for the service permit.

The house foundation now will be a concrete slab. A contractor was recommended and has provided an estimate. When he was looking at the site he had concerns about the sideways slope to the site access and recommend I bring in more fill. I contacted my septic/site contractor and today he delivered a few loads of crushed rock to level things out.

The concern now is weather. If it gets too wet, a concrete truck may not get up the lawn to the access. After a very dry couple months, the autumn rains have begun…
