Building a small RV park, Part 3

[Jim]

Do you think those trees will survive the trauma to their roots?

I think they'll be OK. I wondered the same thing when they put in the septic system at my home. That was 11 years ago and we haven't lost even one tree.

Your trees will probably do better with all that free fertilizer.

Both septics passed inspection and are now covered. Electric passed and most of the trenches are now buried as well. Tree guy coming Monday to open the view, which can be partially seen in the pics below. Gonna be an awesome place to camp!

Looking forward to visiting this Spring on our way north

We worked on trenching for the site hookups and got all the 4" sewer line installed. Waiting on an inspection Monday and then will cover all the trenches and level everything again. Duke Energy has the area flagged and they should trench and install their lines "hopefully" next week.

Once Duke Energy is done with their end, I will gravel the sites (parking pads), plant grass and do some miscellaneous winter landscaping, and then we're heading to our place in Florida for a few months. I'll build the fire rings and place picnic tables when we return.

And then, we will call this project complete.

I had hoped to have this finished before I left for Florida, but some miscommunication between myself and Duke Energy has held up power. I'm afraid I'll be gone by the time they get it trenched in, and I can't finish the road until they are done, so we're at a standstill.

Anyhow, that being said, all permits and inspections are behind us. The view has been opened up and I think it looks great! Hope to have the water hooked up early next week. Lots and lots of landscaping to do, but that'll have to come in April.

So for the most part, it looks like we're going to put a wrap on it until I get back next year.

Looks amazing. Beautiful part of the country for sure and an awesome job transforming it into a place for people to gather. Well done.

Looks great. Don’t worry about not getting everything wrapped up before heading to Florida.
You’ll realize if you retire “why do today what you can put off till tomorrow” is a motto to live by

Thank you, Buster.

Looks GREAT Jim. You did a hell of a job. Go and relax in the sunshine if you can. But I don't think you can sit still for very long.

Enjoy the holidays buddy.
