What's happened at Heck Creek so far

We purchased the land in October, 2010--

42 acres of steep hillside in Madison County, NC.

Our big white oak and decrepit shed down by the creek

Summer 2011 we hired the father-son team of William and Edwin 
to install a culvert so we could get across Heck Creek, 
put in a driveway to the house site, excavate the house basement and 
install a sewer system.

Summer 2012 the well was dug,

 and the electric line run underground up the driveway.

So now all we need to do is build the house!
