Last post was fixing to have the keys now we've been in the house for four months! Most of that time was with no internet. Lots of that time was with trip after trip after trip (you get the picture) with truck and trailer of furniture, boxes, tools, tractor, implements, chicken coop (hauling a 9' tall, 7' wide, 12' long coop down a windy country road at night in the rain, whew!). Back to the list, multiple trailers, horses, pigs, more tools, more boxes, and tons of stuff. After moving all that stuff Amanda was wishing I wasn't an auctioneer and finding cool stuff all the time. Now that we're in and settled she's loving decorating with it! See if you can find a few goodies in the after picture of the porch swing.
These four months have been a whirlwind of work. Moving is "fun" no matter what. When you move your household and a small farm, it's a beast of a job. Not only do you move everything, you also have to setup new pens, build fences, bale the hay and get it in the barn. There's always something to do but that is why we moved here. It's ours! This is our dream home and we're slowly getting it set up the way we want it. Key word there is sloooowly. In fact, it was just yesterday that we got the last boxes out of the living room floor.
What is one thing you expect to see on the porch of a farmhouse? A porch swing! The first thing Amanda and I built together when we first got married was a porch swing. We scavenged barn wood from a neighbor's fallen barn and got to work. That old barnwood was tough and has made it through two moves to it's final home at the G5. We never imagined the house it would end up on but it's a perfect fit!
Zuzu helped me drill holes. Well, she helped with moral support. We hung the swing, put up the halloween spider that Amanda and the boys made last year, then enjoyed the fall breeze.
As I get caught up on posts we'll show the projects we're working on and some of the things we've missed. If you're in the area, give us a holler and stop by. That porch swing is comfy and the domino table inside is just itching to hear some bones rattling!
