Some Clearing

Now that we officially have an architect and the siting project is starting we spent time on the site over Labor Day looking at site A. I broke out the chainsaw (which almost broke me) and we cleared out the small dead hemlock in the probable siting area to get a better feel for it. Besides removing these weedy (and potentially dangerous) trees we'd want to at minimum thin this area so it was walkable and it might end up where the house is so they'd be gone anyway.

We got a good indication that just taking down some of the hemlock let nice light through as we don't want to be in the dark and need it for the solar. We're basically going to try and keep all the hardwood and thin out most of the hemlock.

And yes, I should have taken a picture with my Treo.
