Following a friend's footsteps...

Fellow RVing friends of ours have recently purchased a house and are putting in a full hookup RV pad. I thought some of our followers might be interested in seeing what they've done so far, so here are the pertinent blog links.

A lot of progress in a very short time! We plan to spend the summer on our property, arriving in TN in early June and staying at Maple Hill RV Campground initially. We have to get power and water dug in and hooked up.

Our current thought it to place a shed about halfway down the driveway. It will be used for our motorcycles as well as replacing the storage unit we are paying for. We will bring the power and water to there and run our hookups down to the shed from the other direction.

Time will tell how this works out. LOL!

Update - Fall 2011

We've been back in TN for three weeks but have been "vacationing" elsewhere for two of those. We did stop one late afternoon to check out the property. Everything was in good shape. The main driveway had some leaves and pine needles but was in good shape.



The rough cut driveway to the eventual pole barn only had one layer of gravel and needless to say, the weeds were a popping! LOL!

We won't be doing any work on the property this fall but plan to be back sometime in June next year. We'll get the power and water put in so we can get on property. The septic will be next, even if we have to get a portable macerator. We plan to spend June, July and August on the property. If we can manage, we will get the shed built so we can use it for both storage (and close out our storage unit) and the bikes (while on property).

Our thoughts are to possibly target 2014-2015 for the pole barn build. My hope is that our cabin will follow a year after that. So hope you hang around for a bit....

Soon to be back in Tennessee...

Just a short note, we plan to be back in Tennessee around the 19th of October and stay till around Thanksgiving time. Not sure if we will get any work done on the property this time around. We have two full weeks already booked in timeshares over in the Smokies. We also have a few doctor appointments to take care of and friends to visit. Then factor in the weather...LOL!

Regardless, we will post new photos of the property and any updates on what is going on there.

Birch Trees

I grew up in New England, loving Birch trees. Now that we are visiting in New England we are seeing them again and I am wondering if I'll be able to grow a couple on our property.
