No. Not really LOL. We went out to the property again this past weekend to make sure the area we cleared out from the last time was still neat. You know anytime we go out there we’re going to come back with something to talk about. Wouldn’t you know it, we had to cut the grass again. No surprise. It’s been a week, it’s been raining like crazy, and well…grass is going to do what grass does when it gets rain and sunshine. [Read more…] about I See……Dead People?!
GIS: A Powerful Tool for Your Property Search – Part 1
Hello Everyone. Today, I want to share with you one of the tools we used in our search for land and I will do this in two parts.

I am in the software industry and by nature sometimes that’s what I do. The cool thing is that being a little computer savvy can help in your land search as well.

Even after a 6 month, long, and tedious closing, I look back on it and think – “Man, that was the easy part!”. It seems as if we’ve been met by challenges at every corner.

Driveways & State Maintained Roads
So, the saga continues. If you recall in our last journey update, we were working on access to our property. If you missed it, hop on over to the blog post about “Easements and Road Frontage” and check it out first. As we continue to work on access to our property, things never seem to be as easy as they ought to be. You would think that if you own your property it would be as simple as finding some dirt, rocks, and building yourself a driveway, but not so. [Read more…] about Driveways & State Maintained Roads
Easements and Road Frontage
That’s a pretty picture isn’t it? Green grass….blue skies….trees….and an electric pole. While this picture is full of greenery, I must tell you, we aren’t just looking at a pretty picture.

Why We Are Choosing This And You Can Too!
I don’t know if you saw hubby’s last post, “Today, The Land Became Ours“, but after six long months, we finally closed on our land! Now that was a long lesson in patience. I just wanted to share that great news with you guys before getting on to the point of this post.
Okay, now that that’s over….Homesteading. That word means a lot of different things to different people. For some, when you say homesteading, you think of “Little House On The Prairie” living. Some think of “roughing it” – no modern conveniences like electricity or plumbing. Some think of it as [Read more…] about Why We Are Choosing This And You Can Too!
