This is the electric transformer at the street, next to our driveway. This was a major expense as the nearest power was nearly a quarter mile away. The good news is that we will recover much of that cost in the future when the neighbors around us link up to this box.

Periscopes Up!

No, wait a minute! This is NOT a submarine lost in the mountains. This is a 500 gallon propane tank up near the street.

The well is 325 feet deep. Here you see the well contractor installing the pump.
The septic tank and leach field are located northwest of the house in a nice patch of forest. Unfortunately, to meet code we had to cut down about eight Ponderosa Pines. The lumber will be used for various craft projects, including furniture.
