Future Homesite

[yak651]

I'm bored tonight, so thought I would post some pictures of my future homesite, along with the work my wife and I have done so far. Hopefully I have the picture thing figured out, if not I'll eventually get it right...
Anyhow, this was previously farmland, a little over 9.5 acres, about 2 acres is ideal land (high land, good view, will be location of home and "shed"), another 3-4 acres is pretty good (not high, not too low, possible pond location and 2-4 acre "garden"), and the rest is low land that I wish wasn't there, but the price was right....
Here's the first view from last september

This is after planting 25 trees to begin to seperate my land from the old farmstead...All holes dug with a shovel, no tractor yet...

Did I tell you my wife likes to make me pick up rocks whenever we see them...

The last picture from last year...

All last year and all summer I had been cutting across the farm when accessing the land (understanding/friendly future neighbors...). Finally about two weeks I saved up enough to have "phase I" on the initial driveway put in, approximately 700 feet of it...
