2012 wrap up

In the spirit of the new year, I thought I'd take a minute to look back and what 2012 has brought our family.  It was quite a year!

  • Dismantled and moved two 96' long hoop houses in January
  • Found our 40 acres in February
  • Closed on the farm in April
  • Removed our city garden in May
  • Purchased an RV and moved it to the farm
  • Got the tractor running!
  • Built the first hoop house on the farm in June/July
  • Purchased, stacked, restacked and stored 200+ straw bales for a house
  • Made 3 trips to Colorado to pick up logs and milled lumber
  • Milled many logs at Tim O'brien's
  • Cut and brought home cedar logs from Arkansas
  • Found and moved 16 tons of rock (with much more of this to come)
  • Transplanted many plants from town to the farm
  • Planted first 12 fruit trees on the farm
  • Had Bowen excavation level the pad for the second hoop house
  • Moved into and out of 2 storage units
  • Put the house on the market FSBO, listed it with a real estate agent and then took it off the market

That's quite a lot when you consider that we both have jobs, we have 2 kids with their own activities and we do sleep occasionally.  Here's hoping that 2013 will be just as productive!
