I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
We have been on the land we have now for right at 20 years. We have 7 acres at the current home. Lots of memories and improvements. With lots of recent nearby growth we decided to start looking for some land a little more remote than we are with some elbow room. It has been a tough hunt spanning about 7 or 8 years. We found a couple that we thought were it and the Lord closed those doors. The one we finally closed on yesterday has been out there for about 5 months.The gentleman has owned it since 1987 and worked on it for about 15 years before that. It is 84.5 acres. It is fenced on the perimeter. It has a pole barn about 24x40 enclosed on 3 sides. It has a well and water distribution at 4 locations for livestock. It has a spring feed pond. We have ordered a metal building, 30x50 with a 12x50 overhang on the back. It is a place that we will build on and then sell our current home. We will get the required interior fencing up and move the animals first. Then probably live in the storage building until the house is finished.This is standing on the site of the future house. Real close to the middle.
Thanks everyone. Spending several hours on the Bush hog is the first step. That allows final siteing of the house, storage building and barn. Then the work starts. This place has many big live oaks on it. Several are very large. As in It would take at least four people to reach around.
Really happy for you, what an adventure. Watch the brush hogging, some things get chewed up or run over that shouldn't.
Spent another5 hours on bush hog. This time I found some not so buried treasure. Spent about45 minutes cutting old baleing twine and netting out of the Bush hog. That's it so far.
With cost escalated some for the storage building, we decided to live in a camper instead of squeezing into the storage building. We put a deposit on one yesterday. Should take delivery Monday. We are tearing out old fencing and continuing to mow. I will catch up on pics.
Those are about rotted wooden hog houses. I have to do something to get rid of them
Saturday work.
