God's Little Acre Land Tour

I’m going to update my property tour, starting with the barn rehab I did 4 years ago. I hired 2 Amish guys and worked side by side with them for 3.5 weeks. Since then we’ve become very good friends.
I had a very serious issue with the foundation on one side due to poor drainage. We jacked up and blocked that side and I used my excavator to tear out the crumbling foundation. We poured concrete and made it right. We also replaced rotten boards and windows as needed. I also installed drain tile on that side and buttoned it up.
Up into the loft we went and ran cables from side to side for good measure. I was nervous during that evolution as we had a LOT of strain on the come alongs!
Once we were all finished, I rented a lift and put a coat of paint on the old girl.
Funny story.....I told my wife I was going to paint our name and the year the farm was established as the finishing touch. She got kind of quiet and was very non committal about. I didn’t push it at that point, because I was trying to figure out why she was hesitating. I approached her the next day about it again and she confessed to seeing a barn quilt she knew I’d like and she was going to surprise me with it. Oops!

We got it and a couple buddies helped me bolt it up. It’s 11’ from point to point. I’m very blessed to have Geri as my wife!

Well, God’s Little Acre is being sold. The farmer we lease to is buying 107 acres, and the other 6 acres will go with the house, barn, and outbuildings. The good news is that my stepson and I have obtained exclusive hunting rights :). More good news is that we’ll now be living on the St Lawrence River enjoying this view.350F34AA-8FA1-4318-9BD9-DB0C293AA86E.jpeg
