April 9 - Update

This post is a tad overdue! Sorry.
Not much to show on the new house as we have been working on our current house for the last few weeks to prep it to sell. Hope to have it ready within a month. It's funny how many 'treasures' one collects after almost 20 years in one location. lol
When Marshall can get out to the house, he has been working on the electrical and figures that after one more full day he will be ready to call for an inspection. Once that is done, the tasks will be: install the central vacuum; insulate; vapour barrier & drywall. (There's a building inspection or two before the drywall goes up.) 
We were hoping to pour the basement floor within the next couple of weeks. Marshall called our concrete guy today to get this lined up and his voice mail said that he is away til April 18th. So we will have to wait until he comes back from holidays. Until this happens we will be going to the house every day from work to keep our eye on the settling progress & adjust the teleposts as necessary.
So there is a lot going on, just not all at the new house!

This time last year...no house & no snow.

Marshall is adjusting the teleposts to compensate for the settling of the ground as it thaws.
 
The mud is starting to appear...so are the ruts!!

 I inadvertently found some deep snow with my right leg...almost 3' deep.
