It ...Oh my gosh, you are so very kind to say that. It warms my heart to hear this. We are just sort of making it as we go along, ha. Just remember, make your house livable and comfortable first. And then just sort of work outward I likened it once to ripples on a pond. Just move outward. There are parts of the property acres away that we rarely even see, at least on a regular basis. I mowed trails so we could have a means to check it out of course, but I'm not even remotely worried about working that land. I want it nicer around the house and then I'll work my way out. <br /><br />Best wishes for you and yours this year! Thank you again for the sweet words.1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-8892925753016663732014-01-02T22:38:27.020-06:002014-01-02T22:38:27.020-06:00Well your post made me smile!

My husband and I are working on the house/land that we currently live on and it's so tiring and sometimes very disheartening. Whenever I feel like we're never going to get it done I come here and I always feel better. Your posts are wonderful and I've gotten some great ideas on how to do things around our own home.<br />Thank you for maintaining this blog. I hope that this year brings you everything you wanted and more!Stephanie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13658033207903210456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-69508348690055917252014-01-02T08:23:57.371-06:002014-01-02T08:23:57.371-06:00I smiled when I read you will be going to your pla...I smiled when I read you will be going to your place of peace more often. I did that with a house I bought near Huntsville. Some days it was just a few hours after work to absorb the calm and quiet. The hours became longer and more frequent until it was very hard to drive back to Houston, so I stayed. You will have such fun and the work you are doing is a good healthy, sleep soundly type of tired.

I figure if we can get through this Winter, then we can have that done when it's painted, etc and have it fixed before next Winter. We might have to have the house leveled again so not sure what will come first, ha.

Still planning the raised bed area. I just recently decided on the layout including the final beds (though they may not be filled right away this first season).

One big step to that will be getting a surround on that big gap between the ground and house.
