In the last few weeks site work has begun on the barn project.
Because we want to have sun exposure on the northern side of the barn and we plan to put in a swimming pool, a significant amount of trees needed to be removed. Although I can assure you we still have PLENTY of trees on the farm, I always get a little anxious when I hear the whirring of chainsaws. I just don't like trees being cut down. I can remember growing up and only having one tree of any size in our yard. I dreamed of living somewhere with hills and trees abounding.
But Brad has great vision when it comes to these things and I am learning to trust him. The improvements he has made to the farm in the five years we've been here are proof enough. So, as the trees come down I am beginning to see his vision coming to life.
As sitework continues outside, there has been no lack of work going on inside. Before framing could begin on the lower level plumbing had to be roughed-in and concrete poured.
With the concrete poured, framing has been nearly completed, masonry work is beginning
and the walls are going up.
Today as we were walking through the barn discussing next steps I told Brad that I can't believe we're at this point in the process. It's getting busier by the day! So. Many. Decisions.
But I'm determined to enjoy the process as much as possible and not lose sight of what is important...
...building a HOME.
"A house is built through wisdom and becomes strong through good sense.
Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables."
Proverbs 24:3-4
