March 2017
We’re thinking about how we can make the property viable, and have settled on the idea that we need to have some animals on it to provide for the agricultural use tax valuation. We have plenty of grass and forbs to provide feed, so what do we do?
We have decided that the best idea would be sheep. Now, how to go about putting sheep on the land?
In the house, we are moving forward with plastering and preparing the rooms for painting.
We’ve also decided how we are going to finish the outside of the house. We will use siding panels that look like stucco for part of the surface, and lap siding installed vertically to look like board & batten for other parts of the surface. It will all be painted in southwest earth tones with trim in white and turquoise.
We have installed some of the window and door trim, and are continuing to prepare the finish.
Our son came again the end of month, and helped finish the plumbing in the crawl space. We now have all the drain system installed, the bathtub and shower are in place, and the water is all hooked up and turned on in the house. The refrigerator can now make ice! Since it’s already getting warm, that is a good thing.
