Since the run in shed is arriving this Monday, I decided we need to work on the fencing a bit. Nice to have another section finished and the brace for the larger of the two gates in.
Welcome to the Nees Family blog. Thought it would be a good way to share pictures and see what we have been up to.

The new roof was finished yesterday. Properly put on with a ridge Vent across. This will stop some of the things that were going on with the roof.
Back part of the new roof and you can see the ridge vent better here.
Hated parting with the money for a new roof but as you can see, it needed to be done. Yes, that is indeed a hole in the roof... and mold.
This is what happens when people use a contractor, that doesn't care about the quality of his work, or even doing the work correctly.
Wasn't at all happy when I found out we needed a new roof on the part of the house built in 2000.
Stone foundation for the wee board and batten hay shed.
With all the work moving across the country and this being the first Thanksgiving in two years since the family has been together, we decided to go the Jamestown.
Before the move to VA, I decided I had better sell Maggie's posh Country Road Cart for a couple of reasons. One, I did not have room on the truck for it and two, more than likely something would of happened to it.
This is her 2nd time in this cart and I have a lot more tweaking to do before I have the cart and harness where I want it.
The start of my Art Studio... table, good light.. fake Doug fir boughs....
So this morning I decided to unpack one of the boxes of horse stuff. There were things piled on top of this box too, so I wasn't expecting to see a tail and when I opened the box more....
Some how Nari decided to crawl into the box under the stuff on the lid and creep her way into the closed box and was happily snuggled inside.
Second Back door and where the future run in shed will be. Fencing is already going in. This time around we are doing cattle panels, little more heavy weight which I think we will need.
The Well, yup seriously and it is only 40' deep. Hopefully we will have water in the summer when needed.
Drive to the road and the front of the property. Hopefully will get that fenced by spring. Been a long time since I have had to live so close to other people.
Only out building on the place, nice large double garage. So there is outside storage for DH's things.
Utah, interesting land formations.

Going through St Louis Missouri, very early hours in the morning. As you can see, very little traffic this time of day.
Heading towards the snow.
We stopped at Evenaston WY for the Night. Quite cold out around 11*, bit of snow on the ground but the roads where dry.
First day on the road and traveling through the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. The day was bright, sunny and the wind was incredibly strong. White caps on the river and the wind bending the trees in half.
Here we are heading to Pendleton. Heavy winds here too and just before the town, we were attacked my a number of wild Tumble Weeds! Wish DS took a photo of it, as it was impressive.
