Farm shots

As promised!!



DH heading out to start skidding the logs back to the barn.
This is the older JD tractor the 1950 model A the newer one the 1951 is in several pieces in the garage at home.


The field with the woods in the background. Didn't want to walk that far as I forgot snowshoes and truck would get stuck!! This is where we are dragging the logs to cut up later for firewood.

The barn-we replaced the windows in most of the frames-they were house windows-still needs a bit of work!!


The house-not liveable-no windows/doors for many yrs so inside pretty icky!!
Makes a nice picture though!!

I envy you SO much!

I've always wanted to live out in the country like that!

Looks like you have a nice big place!

That house looks scary! YIKES!

Nice pictures Gail! I like the look of the barn. It gives you that rural, country feeling.

That is a beautiful place!!

Its about 50 minutes from our house-One BIL owns 94 acres on one side, another owns 50 acres on the other side and they also on some across the road.
The woods abut the property that DH grew up on.
The only bad thing-no bathroom!! (except the great outdoors!!)

Lucky.

....I just want to drive the tractor!!!!!

I don't even know how to drive the tractor!!

That looks wonderful! I just want take dogs there and let them run all over the place.
Shame about the house - is it not fix-uppable at all?

BEAUTIFUL!!
Are you going to re-finish the house, or build a new one?
Gorgeous property. It looks awesome.


PS The tractor is cool!!!

Lol just leave it to the guys right!!

Oh and the farm is beautiful!

The house has been in this condition for at least 20 yrs. Inside there um isn't much left. Upstair-I don't up their myself as who knows what animals live up there (raccoon poop all over the place)! There is a small basement I was in there once-won't go there myself either!! We talk about burning it down but thats not going to happen this yr. No building planned. The barn needs some structural work-its been cabled together for about a yr now. We have to find someone who works on old barns like this to have an evaluation done.

I love your pics!!, what a big barn!

veeeery nice!! I bet the house will scrub up really super. It seems to have a good feel about it

Oh Gail, if only walls could talk huh? What a place that must have been in it's heyday!!! It is beautiful. You are very lucky!!

Well on the wall going upstairs-its all crumbly lathe and plaster my SIL and I found some newspaper printed in German!! I should ask DH if he remembers who every lived there besides migrant workers!!

Oh I just love stuff like that............such history! When Jerry and I moved into this place, we found a beautiful china creamer buried WAY back on some shelves going downstairs into the basement........I cleaned it up and proudly display it now...........I'd love to know the story behind it, etc.

Have you contacted any of the local fire departments? They often do "controlled burns" to practice firefighting. Maybe they'd be interested in burning the house. They'd get the training and you get it taken care of!

Ok - that looks cold. I would probably like it in the summer, but snow - ICK!
