Tree protection fence, silt fence and site inspections

In the past couple weeks, the tree protection fence and silt fence have been put up, including in the areas where we are running the pressure sewer line.  The County and Town have passed the inspections, allowing us to start clearing trees.

The pressure sewer line is part of our subdivision requirements...we bought 14+ acres originally, subdivided into 4 lots (three 2 acre lots and one 8 acre lot...guess where we are building).  The three 2 acre lots are for sale if anybody is interested.  We had to run a sewer line to all the lots as a subdivision requirement.  We opted for a pressure sewer since a gravity sewer would have required a ridiculous amount of digging and road repair.  Geometry of the land would have necessitated going to a manhole far to the south in order to get the drop required.

 Here is a picture of our driveway entrance earlier this week.  That's the directional drill rig on the left, drilling south for the pressure sewer line.

Here is a picture of our driveway entrance as of yesterday.  The drill rig is now on the right, drilling north to connect to the sewer line already installed up there.  The excavator in the middle is going to start pulling stumps on Monday.  The orange fencing is tree protection fence.  It's supposed to keep machinery and work away from tree root zones on the other side.

And just for comparison, here is what the entrance looked like prior to our work.
