The part we will eventually live in is more square footage than the downstairs of my house now.

We are either brilliant. . or insane. I'm not sure which yet.
But I want out town.
It sits on 5 acres. . not too far out about a 15 minute drive from town.
It will be one hell of a project. . but. . it's right up our alley. I am hoping to have it livable, and put our place for sale in about a year. Once the house sells we should be able to pay it off and not have a mortgage. Then we can put that money towards the cosmetics.

It was a school house when it was built in 1950. It was only a school for about 5 years. . then it was a feed store for quite some time.
It's been empty storage for probably 15-20 years now. Hubbys bosses dad owned it.

Wellll. . I don't keep a schedule very good.
I like staying up as late as I want and sleeping till I wake up. I've been pretty lazy so far. . but work is coming.. I have an announcement.
We bought some property!
With an old school house on it that we plan to restore so we will have a huge shop. . with living quarters in the back.

Lots of work ahead. . but I'm so excited!

That looks very cool!

Where will the duck mansion be?

It will be where I can see it out our window!
We are thinking of digging a pond. We won't be able to take the palace we built here.
We will build more of a barn for them. We have a lot of material saved up we were going to use here to build a shop.
