It’s been almost 3 weeks since the triplets, Jay, and I all caught terrible colds, but we’re finally on the mend! I’ve spent a lot of my couch time picking out the fun stuff for #WildernestBuild such as light fixtures, faucets, and vanities for the bathrooms. Our excavator has been working on our septic, retaining walls, and now our driveway area, and our kitchen cabinets were scheduled to be delivered today!
In Massachusetts at least, some counties do pesticide and herbicide spraying all over town in order to help combat the mosquito population and keep diseases at bay. Eversource, the electric company, also sends out notices to towns when they're ready to spray their power line easements for similar things.
You may remember my post, from back in November, about how we got our 4 private poles installed - then how they all got destroyed by a freak Nor’Easter about 7 days later. We have since repaired the poles, which only cost us $500 thanks to our pole guy being an incredible human being. None of the wires, despite like 4 massive trees on top of one of them, sustained any damage and the poles themselves just needed a bit of readjusting to get everything back to par. Finally, it was time for Eversource to get in and do their part.
A tale of excitement that quickly turns into devastation - the pole saga!
Happy New Year! 2016 was a great year that started us on this journey and we're sad to see it go, but excited to see what 2017 will bring for our Wildernest. Currently, we're trying to get power to the property.
