Helping Hands

Doc had this idea to paint wooden "hands" to hang around the Barnhouse. Hands of those who have helped make this place our home.

Notice all the pallets? They will be fancy furniture and a pallet wall.....one day!!

I'd say they've earned their "hands" on the barn as badges of their hard work!

They Dig It!

One House.
Four Buildings.
Twenty-Five Acres.
Seven Hundred Million Feet of Water Line.
Seven Hundred Million Feed of Electrical Line.

New Beginnings

twenty four wooded acres.
one old farm house.
a creek. chiggers. turtles.
a barn. an old meat house. a shed or two.

lots of love & sweat
and tears...somewhere along the way.

watch as we transform from a rundown homestead into
our peaceful haven...


"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"

Our first path in the woods. Was an old road bed back in the day.

The old homestead (plus a couple additions).

The mancave building.

THE barn. Swoon. What made me fall in love with the place!

The chicken coop and far right will be a massive garden.

The meat house. AKA school house. AKA craft room.

The shed.
