new mugshot

Looks like our property has a new mugshot on King County public records.  This was taken from the street before I weed eated the area outside the fence.

25 June 2014 Neighbor Foundation

The neighbor's foundation forms are in. Things are moving along for them. We are still waiting for our permit to be issued. That's my best guess at the property line. The lake was to my back as I took this photo.

Big Changes June 2014

Big changes at the lake created by tree removal on the next-door lot in preparation for a new home. Looking west (facing the street), the pink stake is our south property line - our lot is on the right (green grass). We will have more SUN because the neighbor's big firs are gone.

Looking east toward the lake, our big maple is on the left. The maple that used to be on the south property line (see my previous post) is gone, part of the neighbor's clearing project. If you look closely you can see the big stump waiting removal.

The lily pads are back but the fat white flowers were closed on this cloudy day. Mrs (or Miss?) Duck sits on the end of the dock with an eye on her baby (tiny speck to the right). Somebody has been pooping a lot on the dock!

building plans re-submitted

I can hardly believe we have had our property almost a year. In the beginning I was reluctant to show on this blog what a mess the property was. Our new neighbor (building a new house on the lot next to ours) referred to the little house on our property 'the Unabomber Cabin.' We l look forward to living next to this couple with their apparent sense of humor.
