Hi All,
I had several people ask that we continue with the blog and report on what we're doing with the land. So here's Chapter 3, 40 acres (actually 39.93) and no mule (but we did get a Polaris Ranger).
 |
| The 40 acres. Here's an aerial photo of our property, outlined in red. |
It kinda looks like a gun pointing down. In the barrel (lower left corner) is where the current house is located. The open pasture to the left is Texas A&M AgriLife Research land. The dark triangle looking thing towards the top of our property is a lake / pond.
 |
| No mule, but a Polaris Ranger. We bought this while we were in Cody, Wyoming and used uship to get it back to Texas. |
In my last post I mentioned we were trying to figure out whether to renovate the house built in 1930 or bulldoze it down. We still haven't decided what to do. One day we want to keep it, the next we want to burn it to the ground. I have a few pictures but they are all of the outside. The inside is so disgusting we wouldn't want anyone to see it. So far we've pulled most of the carpet out so at least you can walk in without losing your lunch.

| Looks pretty rough |
 |
| Well, it could be cute |
 |
| Maybe too much work |
 |
| If we just got the tree limb off the roof... |
Who knows what we'll decide to do with it. Our purchase decision was all about the land, the house wasn't even a consideration.
Just how thick are the woods?
 |
| The word "impenetrable" comes to mind |
 |
| There are a few places you can get a peek at the lake |
Have you ever heard of a forestry mulcher? What a cool machine! We hired a company to mulch around the property line so we could at least know where the property lines are. These machines literally eat trees. A thirty foot tree becomes mulch in a minute or two. They are amazing to watch. Because the woods are so thick I couldn't get in front of them to show them eating an entire tree but here's a few seconds of one doing some "clean up".
And here's what they leave in their wake.

| Once again, Duncan has to get in the picture. |
That's it for now. Take care.
Brian
