I've been making progress but it's been slow progress. I work on the house whenever I get a chance and only have taken a break for one "Mark's Cruise Night" and one "Quabbin Cruise". Today my father-in-law and I took down a tree that was blocking the front entrance with a rollback.

Wow big difference, looks a lot better.

firewood for next fall!

awesome place David! cool to see a once beautiful place that got neglected be brought back and resto-modded!

With that much land I would just throw up a fence and get some goats and cows, save the stable! lol

Thanks Frank! It's taking a long time, but progress is being made.


Yep. I've got some piles of firewood started.


Thanks Kevin! Don't need the goats yet. I just got a used 32 hp SCAG Turf Tiger. It's a blast to ride and it's faster than most go-karts. I've got to watch it around the trees though. Yesterday I hit a low limb on the roll bar and pulled a huge wheelie with it.

I hope you got plans for a big fireplace outside!
It would be better for our parties there. hehe

No plans for an outside fireplace Dawg! Just a new deck with a nice grill and at some point in a year or so, I'd like to put in an inground pool.

An inground pool might be better for a summer time NEFBA party.....for the party there should be plenty of green beans. LOL.

Missile testing stopped? or just moved to another section of house? lol

When's the drag strip going in lol.

For now, there is just the repair of the missile damage! About 1/2 of the windows and doors are in.

upstairs is being fixed:

If you bring a scag, we can have mower races and cut the lawn at the same time.
