1 Year and Progress!

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy."

Marie Curie



Some of the chairs we have found

 Well,  we are putting that quote to the test.  At Thanksgiving we passed the one year mark of Watermark Woods.  We have been so busy the past few weeks.  Where to start?

A huge mile stone has been securing some reliable scrappers.  Affectionately called 'The Steves', our scrap haulers are making significant progress.  Several of the large barrels are gone and many of the smaller scrap heaps have disappeared.  We think they are even going to take the old international pick-up truck.

Another milestone has been the progress we have made cleaning out the house.  Mike Ruttle, Chris Byron and the Jim & Marie have helped us make huge strides.  Mike, Chris and the boys got the front porch completely cleared and even made it into the front door.  Jim and Marie came and we cleared all but the two back bedrooms.  Jim helped us with the burn piles and Marie shoveled more animal scat than any human should.  Thanks mom and dad!  Chris Byron came in and helped us clean out those last two bedrooms and we are down to just minimal cleanup.
