Ongoing projects and the future

From the beginning of our project here at the farm we understood that we did not know exactly what we would need and that we would learn as we go (because that's what we do best).  As the farm evolves we understand what is actually needed and we are able to invest more time and money into those projects.  So here is my update.


Barn:
We did remodel the barn but still stalled at about the half way point, this should get finnished in no time but I need to get a couple hundred bucks in lumber (and more importantly build it).  But here is what it looks like for now.

House:
The remodel on Grace's room is coming along nicely.  The drywall is up and spackled (on about 90%) we are getting ready to paint and hang doors soon.


Bucks:
We are getting boys for our upcoming breading season!  I will be redoing some of our fencing to create a secure pasture for the boys while also keeping them out of the girl's pasture.   So a lot of planning for the electric fence.   I'm just happy that I chose woven wire at this point because moving it around is so much easier than steel or aluminum wire.


Garden:
The garden is coming along nicely. We have been working hard for some time now, killing weeds, dealing with our ongoing mole problem (This is something that I have mastered, and I usually trap a mole within 48 hours of detecting a fresh mole hole) we also have the ongoing issue of our garden wanting to turn into pasture again so we are constantly re-working the pathways so weeds and grass dont' grow there either.  So far so good.

In conclusion:
There are a couple projects coming up (because it's summer) so those will be getting posted as they come along.

I went on a hike with a couple friends (Laura & Ben) we were in search of a old cabin on the top of my hill that was the original homestead for the property here (1900-ish) we were unable to find the actual cabin, it was probably no longer standing and the foundation was overgrown; but we think we found the plot that was cleared with an amazing view of the mountains facing west.

Here is a picture from the hike, this is about 6 miles east of our house on the top of the same ridge line the old cabin was supposed to be on.
