Say goodbye to the peaceful green pasture and hello to the bulldozer, for the moment, that is... And that may be a bit dramatic. Just a bit shocking to see our precious topsoil pushed to the side in preparation for winery building, and driveway construction.

But... "It's a good thing..." The building will have a beautiful design complimenting the pastoral setting once everything is put back in it's place.

R.L. Wulf Ltd... Robert knows how to get things done, and done right...
Black soil... One of the best smells on this earth... That, and freshly cut alfalfa.
He first moved the top soil to the side, to be put back in place when building is finished. He then grated the building site level, built up the entrance and driveway, made a drainage ditch behind the building so water will drain away from the building to the ditch and through the culvert.

Building progress to be continued. We are still waiting for some numbers (prices, bids) before we can dig the utility basement, but, hopefully we aren't too far from that step.


And the fencing begins---again...

Yes... More fencing. Will's favorite thing to do. He has also learned, while taking the old fence down, that barbed wire is a lot of fun to roll up. The picture above is actually of posts for the vineyard, which is a whole other project.

The county road grater was able to come out and push down the soil ridge that was along the fence line. This will help them, and us, by reducing snow drifting/accumulation on the road in the winter.
