    Every weekend since March 1st, the GF and I have been busting our butts working on our land and trailer. We've cleared trees for a branch off of our driveway (over 100), cut and stacked over 2 cords of wood, plumbed a well and septic system to the trailer and trenched 450 feet of electrical pipe for our trailer, garage (new) and a future pole barn. This past weekend I installed an electrical panel in the garage and ran over 100 feet of conduit. I'm still not done! I ran out of pipe and time.

    Here are some pictures of the progress.

    Nice place Greg. The only thing I would have done different is a bigger garage. just from experience I built a 24 x 24 and it's not big enough.
