Our first year's accomplishments on restoring the farm

'Chainsaw Mike' with the first of many brushpiles to come.

My husband and I purchased the 6.5 acres of pasture and farm buildings Thanksgiving week 2011 and have made some noticeable progress during the first year which the photos below show:

New soffits on south side of house as of June 2012

Farm house has steel siding that was installed during remodel in 1975. Since it is almost 40 years old, the siding needs a paint job. We are planning for that to be our major project for 2013.
