Snowstorm shut down construction for a couple of days, freeing up some time for hiking.

The young texas lad was not quite sure what to make of it all.

On the barn, the top plates are up and the loft is finished. I’d the weather holds the roof will go on this week.

More flowering trees. I found a southern crabapple (Malus angustifolia) next to the pasture today. Looks like it’s about to bloom.

Busy day today. Roof purlins and facia boards installed. Cross bracing installed. Doors and windows framed. Got a visit from the cement contractor about pouring the slab. Looking good!

You are surrounded..... by trees. That going to give you at least 5 more years to your life.

Ohhh, it's a barn. I thought those guys were building some Texas-sized benches for your trees.

Looking good Scott !!! You should get some horses to get around the property since it's so big.

In terms of finding the land, it was a matter of looking for several years for the right property in the right location. In terms of resources, it was a combination of good fortune, hard work, diligent saving, careful investing, and time. Lots and lots of time.
