We are a family have 5 and bought our home 3 years ago. We have just under 10 acres and it has been a lot of work cleaning up the property. The house had sat empty for 1 1/2 before we bought it. We are finally getting closer to being finished with the “big” projects. We have three dogs and two cats. My husband and I both work full time so life is generally crazy. I am a Logistics Manager which means I am taking calls all hours of the day and night.
