Finally. We didn't have to spent our whirlwind weekend picking up dirty diapers, used motor oil, rotting wood, rusty metal, beer bottles and cans and PLASTIC (so much!)... So we got busy building and demolishing. Some of this had begun a week earlier with Tim and a new local friend Ben.
Fortunately for us, our friends stepped up and we had 15 friends come and help us over the course of our 2-day work party. The beauty of working with people we really know and trust is that we could explain jobs to them and then walk away. Regina and I were able to focus on some really dirty projects and logistics, and before we knew it... BAM. Serious progress. Unfortunately we don't have a working camera, but we will soon take some pictures so we can show some before and after shots.
It is SO exciting to us to see this quiet, and pretty much wrecked farm space come alive and start to transform into the visions, plans, and drawings that Regina and I have been working on remotely for so many months as we have prepared to begin this project. After one more weekend of Tim finishing up some projects ahead we will have a farm that is at least ready for our 6 goats, 2 pigs, 10 laying hens, and dozens of baby chicks and turkeys. We will be camping on the land for the first few weeks while we finish preparing the place to be suitable for us.
We hope you will come and visit soon!
