Now the next chapter of fun begins!! On Friday, August 24th we closed the deal and purchased 75 acres of land which includes a house, a couple of ponds, and some woodland down a gravel road. The house is an older house in great condition. However, it is small and we have plans to remodel. We will start with adding a 10 ft porch across the back and front of the house. Along with the porches we plan to extend the front of the house by adding a 14 ft by 50 ft addition. Then we will somehow raise the roof to include a second story on the back half of the house. The existing roof will be replaced with a tin roof and the vinyl siding will be replaced with hardie plank. I forgot to mention that a few walls, doors, windows, and plumbing will need to be moved or altered. Sounds like an easy job!! Right?
Then we will need to build a barn, put up a working pen, fix the pig parlor, dig a well, build a chicken coop, put in a garden, and maybe even another pavilion!!! Wow! We have much to do. I think we will get started this weekend. I am so thankful that I was able to resign and homeschool the children because I am thinking that I'll be quite busy the next few years.
