 Hello out there. 

I videotaped a quick walkthrough of what I'm doing around the homestead this year. There is so much going on that it seems overwhelming at times.

I felt I owed it to anyone still following the blog. 

Of course, not much to follow if I'm not updated...hence the video. 

Here's the video:


and the short list:

Beefing up the Homestead

 - Rebuilt front porch

 - Fortifying the front grass

 - Added curbing to front

 - Added rock to front

 - Added curbing to back

 - Added 30amp plug for camper

 - Purchased 30' Shadow Cruiser

Next

 - Adding privacy shrubs to back fenceline

 - Adding ground cover between curbing and back fence

 - Rebuild back porch

 - Adding rock to driveway

 - Adding curbing to south property line

Lots of other plans further down the line but this has been keeping me busy since June. 

The craziness in the world is accelerating so I am doing the same with my prepping. 

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are doing well for the coming election.

A Few Homestead Basics That Make Juggling Projects Easier

When there is this much going on around the place at once, having a few basics on hand keeps everything from grinding to a halt. A solid cordless drill and driver combo kit covers most quick jobs without digging out a corded tool, a rolling tool storage cart keeps everything moving with you between projects instead of scattered around the property, and a good pair of durable work gloves gets used on literally every one of them. Simple stuff, but it adds up over a season this busy.

  1. We also worked on many things around the house during our summer break (2 teacher household). We still need to paint the back deck and make sure loose spots are repaired. We still have a lot to do before snow season.
