The one month mark.

We’re making some major progress! A month has flown by since we purchased the farm and we have had several great work weekends. Huge shout out to our family and friends for all of the help and support!!

Our PODS were delivered and our second 22 yard dumpster is completely full. We de-tree’d (new word) the pool and backyard fence line then drug everything to our newly constructed burn pile. Which, was harder than it sounds… trees are heavy. Very, very heavy. We also pulled the old pool cover out of the bottom of the pool. It’s starting to look like a proper hole in the ground. I mean pool!

Now that the new roof is on and there are no move active leaks, Cory is working some magic on the upstairs! I’ll let him show you his transformation thus far. It’s amazing!!!

I was thrilled to get some major scrubbing done downstairs – from ceilings to floors! Cory moved in our dishwasher and refrigerator. I also got the laundry room scrubbed and a fresh coat of paint on before Cory brought in the washer and dryer. I can’t wait to get some fun storage bins.  I’m on a mission to optimize every single bit of storage space available in this house. I’ll post pictures when the laundry room is complete!

Don’t be fooled, this month has not been all work and no play for the Peters. We did take time out to monkey around a little for Claire’s FIRST BIRTHDAY!

As always, thanks for following us as we FIX THIS FARM!
