I also enjoyed reading Pam's post and reminds me of why we're doing this now.
We bought our property this past fall and have so far cut and stacked several chords of wood, cleaned about 1/3rd of the dead fall on our 10ac and used it this past winter. We purchased about 30 chicks 9 are fryers and the rest for eggs. I have the brooder cage made and have to get the Coop done within the next week.
I have an area about 200' x 60' marked off for our garden area. ALL Fresh never tilled ground so it's rock hard. It dried out enough last week I could start tilling the ground and managed to get an area 60' x 20 tilled and ready. It rained yesterday and is still raining today, so I will have to wait to get the rest tilled. I will get out tomorrow and get the rows done and plant our corn and get other seeds in ASAP.
Geese flew overhead today heading northwest so I think we should be safe to plant most of what we have.
I put in a new septic/sespool last week, ripped some tree roots out and leveled an area out front that used to be a fire pit. I tore off the front rock wall of the house (It looked like shit) and will redo all of it this next week and get the back porch/outside cook area done right after that. I built a 14' x 12' Shed out back and now have more storage for our stuff.
There is still a bunch of things that have to be done but we're now out of money so onto things that don't require any money, ie gardening, cutting more wood cutting some smaller cedars for fence posts and getting the barbed wire around the garden area, filling in the hole for the septic, fixing the brakes on one of our suburbans, working on the chain saws and other equpt I have here.
SO much to do, I cold use another set of hands here Any takers? Free room and board... (Just thought I'd ask)
Good luck to everyone else,
