Having just moved into my homestead three months ago I have gotten the following done:
1. Cleared 1/4 acre of thick blackberries surrounding the barn.
2. Cleared out a good portion of the "weed" trees and low branches on the evergreens - burned everything.
3. Cleaned out the abandonned barn - two stalls chicken coop and lean to - with up to 18" of very old manure in it. Piled it outside for the garden.
4. Mowed, Mowed Mowed! Over an acre of tall grass - still have more to go.
5. Started fencing put in gate across the drive.
6. Had the Bathtub replaced with a shower (the only thing I did not attempt myself)
7. Buried my poor cat after a long illness - he got some kind of swelling on his tongue and then caught a respiratory disease just as he was recovering.
8. Got a goose (Harry) and two ducks for my barnyard.
9. Had 30 yards of helmock mulch brought in and have some of it spread for a driveway from the house to the barn to cut down on some of the mud here.
10. Painted the entire inside of the house before arranging furniture too.
Still need to move the overgrown scrubs next to the house and clean up the flower beds and tackle the small number of scotch broom scattered about. Whew!
Doesn't look like the same place now! Will look forward to the point when the cleaning is done and the building can start! I like reading these posts to get ideas for my place.
