Expansions to the Farm

     Summer break flew by way too fast. It has been a crazy time of it too. We have 11 new babies on the farm and 4 more mommas  due any day now. We have a boar for sale or trade for a different bloodline other than (American Guinea hogs) Cersi BPR Bloodline.

     We have been working on 101 projects and one of them have not been the roof. my daughter and husband now reside on the farm and have become members of Earthsblessing Farm, along with their two daughters. We have been helping them settle in. They were married on July 27th and we wish them all great success and love in their new adventures.

     School has brought me to a new position and it is one I truly love. I am privileged  and honored for this  spot. I new work with Severe students now.

     I have been working on ponds and patios over the break and my garden is growing like crazy. We have a new kitten named Taz; he was a wild one from  out at the barn. He has become friends with Claire our indoor cat. They are holy terrors when they get running through the house. We have also added a few new chickens to the roost. We have a lot to be thankful for here on the farm. May we continue to grow and thrive as the years go past.

   

The build is on

Well, I am off and running!

I started my house project this week. Plans all done and marked my boundaries and staked them out. I spent the day clearing shrubs and raking leaves and my helper cut a few trees for me.  Here are some before and after shots of what I got done before it started to sprinkle.

This is my plans the dining room (which is our living room now) and bedroom are the only part of the house that we have right now that we are keeping which is in this plan as it will be after the new addition. That first addition was added to a 1970's trailer that is rapidly falling apart. I made the plans keeping in mind that all new plumbing will be in the new addition to cut cost too.
The old trailer will be torn down and the outside of the house will be cord-wood. This is the cheapest route I could come up with for very little money and trust me I have made 100's of plans and revamps in the last few years.
Tired for now, but will be ready to get back at it tomorrow. We are ordering block soon as we dig out the footers. I will be starting on them tomorrow if it don’t rain.
