Hi everyone! First update on our barn property progression. It was a exciting day we had some heavy equipment out to clear land up to the grass pasture and are clearing some brush getting ready for our power hookup to the barn. We got a bunch of trees cut down that were growing up around the foundation and pulled most of the vines down that were growing into the barn, this all had to be done by hand because the equipment is too big to get in that close to the barn. I was also a little afraid we would pull the barn boards off if we tried ripping at the vines with the dozer. We got quite a bit of land moved today and hopefully a bunch more later this week.
No more vines or shumac anymore!
Cleared up the hill and leveled off around the back of the barn.

I'm going to let these vines dry out for a few days in hopes they will be easier to rip down.
Pretty good progress so far I think, but the big equipment makes it a breeze. I'm going to try and get my cousin to bring his skidloader this week so I can dress up the rough spots left by the dozer. It was a great day at the future homestead got lots done and it makes us want to be working on the barn even more. Thanks for stopping and checking in on us!
