Finally, another update!

Again it has been a while since I posted anything here, and a lot has happened!!! The biggest events are the construction of 330 feet of fencing on part of one side of the property and the hanging of the new gates!

The fencing is 5’ tall horse fencing, which is probably what we fence the entire property with. It is strong and looks great! The plan is to do a little of the perimeter fencing at a time until it is all done. We hope to get the second long side of the property done next. Dad and I spent today taking out brush to clear the way for the fence line. Next weekend we get to shred all we took out and take out some more! Fun stuff!!!!

The new gates look amazing!!! Thanks Matt!!! You’re so awesome!!! We still are in the process of painting them black; one is still a nice burgundy sort of color. For those who don’t know, my cousin, Matt came to visit and so kindly came up and welded the hinges for the gates and helped us hang them. And I also need to thank my Uncle Mike for helping us out so much as well. That was one of the most tiring and fun days I’ve had at the property; playing with Matt’s two great kids, Ryleigh and Tommy.

Last weekend Dad and I turned the “house” into a shed, so now it’s more secure and we can keep more up there. Now our cats have to eat outside, but they don’t mind.

Everything is coming along well. I will post pictures within the next week. I promise!!!! It’s so beautiful up there, even now that the grass has turned brown, but it’s more like a bronze than brown. The trees are still brilliantly green.
Okay that’s it for now. I’m going to watch a movie or something now. Hope everyone is well!
