The first part of the project took one year, 16 hour days of working to the bone, with a tight knit crew of six amazing, creative and hard-working people you'll find.
(I guess we hadn’t been challenged enough, because we decided in January of 2022, it was time for phase 2 and added 4 more units!)
After searching for three years we found the piece of land we'd always wanted. It was as beautiful as it was wild and we instantly knew it was right for us!
Two months of clearing, our office view was through the windshield of a 31,000# dozer. Getting the dozer seemed to level the playing field to tackle the invasive cedar that has laid claim to the land and the giant boulders everywhere. Family and friends helped tremendously along the way. Weekends and vacations were spent in the heat to help us make it into a reality.
Moving massive trees while still trying to delicately weave through narrow passages was no easy feat!
Spend the next two months burning in the middle of a Texas Summer. Safely allowing fire to turn twenty piles the size of two-story homes into rich ash and fertile soil. We had five burn pits fifty feet wide and twenty feet deep providing a buffer of protection along with round-the-clock monitoring and an abundance of caution.
Dig miles of trenches throughout the property to bring water and power to each location. To minimize the impact, these routes became our pathways.
Drill a water well to depths of 650'+ to bring our crystal clear water to the surface.
Make sure the contractor doesn’t abscond with your money before they start on the project!
