Here are a few photos of our place and what we have to work with. You will notice that we do not have any trees. This used to be a crop field. It still has the rows in it. You should try riding a tractor over it.

| Front yard from the road. We live in the trailer and the trees outline our land. We have just about 2 1/3 acres. |
 |
| This is the left side of the property. The deep grass is where our garden will be. Believe it or not that deep grass is full of watermelons. The building in the back is our 1500 square foot workshop. |
 |
| This was a storage building that I had turned into a dog kennel. Now it will be the new home for our laying birds. Notice the five exterior nest boxes. The interior is unfinished. I refuse to spend money on it so construction goes as material is found. I will post videos of Krysta and me building it later. |
 |
| You can see the cement run left over from the kennel. No predators digging into there. I will be adding a roof also. |
 |
| Four Muskadine grapevines in the back corner. I plan to add a variety later. |
 |
| Some used tires I got free. These will make compost bins and I will post how I prepare them and how they work later. I found this on another homesteaders website and thought it was better, faster, and cheaper to start than wood construction. |
It looks like a storm is on the way. So I better batten down the hatches.
