We were almost late getting this report uploaded because we were waiting on this bit of good news (and the accompanying pictures).
If you've been following our progress then you already know getting electricity to our building site has been a bit of a nightmare. During this past quarter we've finally been able to sign a contract with the village and with the electric company to secure power. Two days ago we were able to see the progress for the first time!!
Power poles and most of the wire has been run more than one kilometer to our building site. We expect to have power on-site as early as mid-April.
We also have all of the final approvals to begin building two staff cottages next to the Blossom Cottage property. At a meeting with our contractor today we talked about breaking ground for the cottages soon as well as continuing work on Blossom Cottage. Because the exchange rate is wildly fluctuating right now we intend to purchase all of our sheetrock and most of our flooring (tiles) for later use.
As always, thank you for your support. Now that winter has broken we expect to see a lot of progress during this new quarter.
