It's beginning to look a lot like christmas....



Notice the nice cupola Chris built on top.

Well, not really,  but the spirit of christmas is here.  We have no snow and a 5 inch tree,  but the gift of a completed barn has brought us the holiday spirit.  This weekend we are unloading another pod, so we officially have 1/2 of our stuff. 



Inside on the 1/3 of the barn that is living space.

After having spent the past few months on the barn, we are giddy to not be building the barn, but to be moving stuff in.  The large freezer was in this load, as well as the gun safe.  You know what that means.....the deer will now have to be afraid.

We plan to spend the break with a little trip to Florida and moving our stuf out of the old house and into the barn,  as well as moving stuff out of the old shed.  We need to get that shed cleaned out as we are on the list to adopt some 4-h chickens in the spring. 

This week we came to the realization that it is going to be really hard(and long) to build the house ourselves, so we are interviewing builders.  We may decide that it will be more cost effective to just do it ourselves,  but it is fun to think about having someone else manage the whole process. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Until 2012.....
