As The Farm Turns

Ten years ago when I picked out the house that we are currently living in it was an older home and it had a problem or two. After seeing the narrow driveway and experiencing a plumbing problem or two Mark informed me I had purchased a money pit. In a huff I told him fine he could pick out the next house! Ummm that might be happening now. As much as I want a tiny house 1000 square foot or less it seems that he has found his dream house and it resides in the form of a log cabin complete with a loft and screened in porch fireplace and a deck coming in at 1600 square feet.  Here is the link if you would like to see it in all its glory.http://www.blueridgeloghome.com/emerson.html We have a meeting with them on Monday the 15th of October.

Here is the latest construction news: We have water! the well was put in a month ago and pumps out 45 gallons per minute, the septic system is in and the driveway has been installed far enough into the property to satisfy VDOT. So here are a few pictures that are not very impressive however we do need water and a place to go potty. Plus some trees have to come down and that is happening slowly but surly, two trees down five to go. I have transplanted some hostas and herbs which I am sure the deer will eat and stomping around found a wild rose which I will move and hope it grows and blooms. We can save an oak tree and some honey locusts as well as several cedar trees. No goats or chickens yet but the dogs love running around while we putter. Log cabin and tree trimming new to follow.
