Justice and the changing landscape

[Liberty & Justice]

Well I'll be it's been a bit of work but it's getting there. I'm in a rush because I would like a nice lucuious green lawn before Liberty get's home to play in. It's been a bit of a struggle with all the land and all the work that comes with it. Before we maybe had an acre of actual green lawn, now will have 4-5 acres if all goes well of nice play in green grass. This is a few pics of the progress and my best friend Justice. He's doing quite well and ready to roam and run again after surgery. Glad to have him back to normal !

Prior to the Grassy knoll ? I don't think so .....

After tons of chemical, 21 hours of mowing it all down, tilling it, raking it, and the final prep before we seed, it's almost done.

My pal taking a break from the sun in the shade

I think he hit the burn pit to get this stick, Geez what he won't do for a stick............

After the burnt stick tasted bad:

Our hail from last week ! Yuck .......my trucks were damaged and so was my home pretty badly. Luckily insurance is on our side !

Hail and the fog afterwards:

Hope everyone had a great day !

Oh wow, you guys have been busy! Next is the fence you said? It'll be nice to have that much yard to play around in with your two when you aren't out hiking!

Yes I had to get this done first because they didn't want to fence a yard that he couldn't see. There were a ton of rocks and other buried treasure in the yard as well. For instance I found a 100 year old tiller and put it all together. I found the all steel wheels buried about 100 yards away in the dirt. A tree that was over 30 ft tall had grown thru the frame of this thing, so I cut that down and pulled it out with my truck. Kinda a neat actually, most handy thing these hands have done so far.

I've put the fence off a few times now as other projects have become a priority. Sadly !

That's so cool! Do you have a pic of it?

Oh no need to be jealous...... I lived in the cities most of my life and just got sick of it, among other reasons. So I moved up here in the sticks. It definitely has it's drawbacks mainly being convenience. As like yesterday my propane tanks for the grill were both empty. The nearest place to fill them was a small country store 54 miles away ( round trip ). That took an hour or so just getting the tanks filled.

Wow! That's pretty amazing that thing got covered up and so cool that you were able to pull it out and make use of old. Thanks for the pic for visuals!

Your welcome..... This land was apparently farm land in the late and early 1800's-1900's. I have found a bunch of neat stuff, a horse drawn tiller, this rake type device, wheels, old porcelain bath tub, etc. I thought about lawn decorations but not sure I'm an exact fit for old farm equipment to be parading on my lawn. All the items were buried to some degree, as the rake the only way I noticed it was going into the woods to get Justice's Frisbee that was in a tree. I saw the rake type prongs sticking out a few inches above ground. The trees literally grew between the framing which was pretty cool to see after all those years.

I meant to ask how the new business was coming along ?

 

[JanS]

Nice shots Stephen and the place is already looking really good! I bet the old farm equipment would be worth a fortune to some of the collectors if you don't want to keep it around.

I think I recall seeing photos of your well-organized shoe collection, and would have to agree with this statement!

Awesome job on the yard and putting together old farm machinery! Justice is such a lucky dog!!!

Yah think so ?

Yah think so ?

Definitely. People go nuts for that stuff.

Going well, still in the process of getting things ready until official "release" but almost there. Thanks for asking

 

[Liberty & Justice]

Hmmm maybe I'll keep it and let it go up in value?

 

[Marinegeekswife]

Wow, you've put in a ton of work. Should turn out really lovely. Can't wait to see your two playing on the lawn.

I know I know only 13 more days.......... stuff is arriving daily at this house for her which is making me anxious. I have no central air in here so I just installed a nicer in wall system today for her and Justice. It's getting kind of stuffy in here even with the lake being so close ( usually a 20 degree difference vs non lake ). I got home today and it was 84 degrees in the house which is getting far too close to warm for Justice. I have ceiling fans running 24/7 and a larger fan that moves the air around but it wasn't enough. He seemed fine and wasn't panting or anything so no real worry there, but all in all it's more comfortable for him now. What a pain those are !!! I'll never want to do it again but vs the 10k or more to install central air, I'll pass for the cheaper wall unit.

I know, I heard it was even way hotter by the lake yesterday with the highs being over 20° above average. Glad you got some relief!
