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. We’re looking at the easement to our property; it’s blocked. And that’s a problem…. [Read more…] about Easements and Road Frontage

In the blog post, “Today, The Land Became Ours“, Antoine gave the advice that if you are offered title insurance, TAKE IT! He didn’t go into detail of the whats and whys so, today you’re in luck! I’m going to do it. First a little background… [Read more…] about Title Insurance – TAKE IT!
Four New Additions To Our Homestead!
Antoine is so kind. He knows I have the skills to turn things brown that should be green. Yet and still he bought me something we’ve wanted for a very long time. Every day in order for me to drink water, I drink it with some kind of citrus – either lemon or lime. Do you know how much those things are costing in the store now days? Good lord, way too much.

PVC Pipe Laundry Hamper
Hey Fam, it’s been a while since our last post. We’ve definitely been dealing with life-stuff again, but ’tis life. So, today I wanted to share with you all a quick PVC project that I put together back in 2014. Up until that point, we all just tossed our clothes (separated by colors) into the same three hampers that we had in our room.
