Our future projects on the Double W Ranch
Here is a list of projects that we will be doing around the ranch/ homestead. I'm sure this list will grow, after I have the wife glance over it. While we are working on the projects, I'll either be taking photos or video. Hopefully the visual aid will help you in your projects.
1st project is a chicken coop for the wife's chickens.
2nd project is to build a couple raised garden beds, and plant seeds for the upcoming growing season.
3rd project will be to redo the compost pile and build a three sided bin for the compost pile.
4th project will be getting the barn horse ready.
5th project will be some bed room furniture for the master bedroom.
6th project will be a small remodel on the master bathroom
7th project will be the remodel on the guest bath.
8th project will be to put shiplap boards on one wall in the kitchen.
To be continued....
Our backstory
For awhile now, we have wanted to raise chicken for eggs and meat, grow our own food, and have space to stretch our legs out at the end of a long day. We also wanted a place to raise our son and not have to do that in the big city.
About a year ago, we started looking for areas outside the metroplex that met our needs. We decided that North Texas met our needs. It seemed like every weekend, we were either spending our weekends driving around the country side looking at potential homes or finding them on the net. There were some very disappointing moments throughout this search, but that's expected when you're house hunting. I think that helps you love your new home even more. But the weekend finally came that we found our future home. It was the last house on our list to tour on that rainy Sunday. I was sold on another house we looked at earlier that day, but the wife was in love with the last house of the day. I wasn't due to some factors that I was worried about. But the wife was able to talk me out of them on the ride home.
That night we put our offer in, but we soon found out that same day several people looked at the house and there were other offers. Our awesome Realtor had suggested we write the seller a letter introducing ourselves. We went back and forth a bit, but eventually we won the house. We later found out the letter was the deciding factor for the seller.
So we really did it. We bought our dream home this past December.
