Great to see the rock going in. You are doing an amazing job. We were at this point a year ago on our 18 acres. We built a 750 foot driveway and a 70 foot square building pad. We are still building at the drywall finishing stage. It takes longer doing it yourself but you will have a greater connection to the property.

Thank you! It has been so fun watching it all come together and knowing that we learned the skills to do it ourselves. It feels like “home” because we have sweat over every step! I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am enjoying finally living my life! It’s showing me what we are truly made of and capable of!!

Thank you. I’m glad you’re here to share in it. I didn’t understand either. He explained that he measures a point on the steaks and makes that line level. Then he knows how many inches to add to each side to make the ground level. It seemed to work! Lol.

It can be very frustrating when plans and timelines don't quite work out the way you planned. You begin to literally doubt everything. Just remember that HE knows the big picture. I personally have to remind myself of that daily. You two have come so far already. As Grumpy says, it's all about perspective. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by what we have to do, we forget all we have already accomplished. Watching y'all makes me smile...and gives me hope that I will actually be able to do this myself.

Sooooo many things to consider! Winds can knock down trees as we just experienced, property lines, cedar trees can spread cedar rust to apple trees, run off if you plan to use swales and on and on! The more time we spend on the property the more we observe and change up a bit here and there. This isn’t for weak people! 😂

My wife and I noticed that when you close the front door at 12:00, there’s a large air gap where you can see sunlight coming through the top of the door closed door. This is probably how the wasps got in, I would seal up that door crack to keep the heat in and the pests out ✌️
@americanrootsfarm

Thanks, it was a pretty big gap wasn't it? That is definitely where they were coming from! We ended up sealing up the door when we left. Since the house is not level yet, the door sits crooked.
