The beginning!

Gary started off by marking off his
lot with stakes - he used a metal
detector and followed the plat map
to ensure that he had the exact
location of his lot.  You can also call
in a survey company to survey and
mark out a lot.

Gary did all of his own lot clearing
(with a little help from friends) and a
chain saw.  Most of the brush he
cut down and burned himself.

Installation of culvert at front of lot.
Gary had a few loads of dirt and gravel delivered
after putting the culvert down.
