We returned to Lennar Homes at Independence today, to pay our 10% deposit on our next home. Driving by our home site, we saw that work is already beginning – the home is now staked out, and soil is being added presumably to prepare the site for running utilities, and pouring the concrete slab. I did a little video:
Apparently we need to drive up quite regularly, as progress appears rapid. The properties either side are going up fast!
I’ve done lots of wiring in my life … short wire links joining components together when I was a teenager, printed circuit board wiring at my various jobs, even power wiring run in walls and attics.
But I’ve never done wiring when the cables are inches thick, which is what is happening near 8002 at the moment, along the side of highway I-429. Over the last couple of months there’s been loads of activity as the masts were erected and prepared, and recently there’s been lots of helicopter activity.
I’d assumed that the helicopters were being used to check progress, but taking the time to go out and watch yesterday, I found that the helicopters are actually “installation tools”! Enjoy the video:
Amazing!
This afternoon we took a short trip to nearby Lake Louisa State Park, peaceful and full of trees and wildlife! There’s a few areas in the park, and multiple lakes; natures trails, forested scrubland; we even saw three wild deer – too far to photograph, but clear and not much bothered by us. But the Gopher Tortoise was close enough:
At Lake Louisa, we walked on the sandy “beach” and in the water, which was a very red/brown color …
I also took some video of the Gopher Tortoise, who was quite keen to get away from us:
