Rental Cabin #1 "The Wright Brothers"
The Land
 |
This is a look up the road (North), with the taxiway on the left. I planted almost 30 Spruce trees before the winter frost. |
 |
Most of the little trees did not survive the winter. |
 |
I think that I have 3 spruce trees that did survive the winter. |
 |
This is a "hand dug" trench, crossing my entrance road. This will tie all of the tree lines into the irrigation system. |
 |
This is the roll of wire that my son, Eric and I cut to place around each individual tree on the property. |
 |
This is a close up of the wire, once it was cut and placed in the ground. |
 |
Here is the finished product. A lot of work, but it makes for a nice manicured look. |
 |
These are the power line poles that I got from Huntsville Utilities. These will be cut down into shorter poles and planted in the ground as piers for foundation of the Vintage Aviation Lodge Office. |
 |
The string lines are up and the backhoe is being delivered today. |
 |
Another look at the building site, layout. |
 |
Seven trees are completed... and only several hundred more to go. Average time spent on each tree is 30 minutes, not including actually rounding up the pine straw and hauling it to the property. |
 |
Hundreds of trees in the background will get the same treatment. |
 |
This shot is looking towards the East. It shows my attempt at making a winding road leading into the cabin area. The flags are placed every 10' and represent a future tree line. |
 |
This is my taxiway with the airport in the background. The runway is located just behind the far tree line. |
