So I finally got the shed bug proofed as best I could without rebuilding it. I also moved all my equipment in. I have electricity and water (no sink). I’m so excited to have my shop all set up and working. A place to go and work. It will be there for a while till we are able to build something new years down the road.

I also have been cleaning up the yard on weekends. I’m slowly moving brick, cutting weeds, etc. Last weekend I had a friend come and help with taring down the roof of the carport as you can see in some of the images. This weekend I plan to tare down the carport rafters, walls and the shed next to it that’s falling apart. By the end of the month I will be hiring someone to do a lot of work with machines to help clean up the land. It will take me too long to do it all by myself. This will speed things up so I can concentrate on taring down the walls on the property. I will have a lot of brick to stack for projects or to sell. I have already sold some random things from the property. I can’t wait to get it clean enough to start with my vision which I will share at another time.

For now I just hope to keep moving forward. With interest rates going up so fast, by the time we have plans made and ready to go, who knows what the prices will be to build. If it’s out of our reach, that would not be cool, but I’m optimistic and will always be trying to make things work out no matter how hard it is. No one said this journey would be an easy one. We will enjoy the journey because that is where all the memories of this place will bring. We will remember all the progress we did, difficulties along, the fun times and beautiful times. I will keep my blog posts going to keep you up to date on our journey at the Garden House. Over time I hope it becomes just that.

Keep watch as you slowly see the progress at the Garden House. :)
