Saturday on the Homestead March 18, 2016

Right now, all of our free time is spent clearing trees and hauling limbs off of our new property.  For any who didn't get to read about it, we have purchased 18.5 acres not far from our current location.  There was an old trailer on it that we have torn down except for the steel frame, which we are keeping to build on hopefully next spring.

There are too many large trees surrounding the frame,  so we need to remove the future danger of them crashing on our house.  So far, we have been snowed on, sleeted on, rained on, and now we get to enjoy tick season while we work. (Not)

I have drawn to scale on graph paper the layout of our future tiny house (684 square feet). I have all the furniture we are keeping measured and situated in place on our graph  I also color coded the flooring type for each room.  I have a list of what we will need to buy, like windows , doors, and bathroom fixtures, so I can try to find some of it at the Re-store in town.

In deference to my limited energy and time, we have turned  the gardening at home over to Jessie for the season.  I'm sure I will still preserve the harvest, but she will be taking care of the rest.

I guess that's it for now.  Til next time.  Be blessed.
Debbie
