Get it built Charlie! I’ll come help you move everything!

Just waiting for steel prices to come down some more!

You might have better luck if you buy a DeLorean 😂

Coming along nicely Charlie , those posts aren't going anywhere now 😊👍 I can already envision a large potted plant on either side of the stairs.

Great idea Bruce!

Thanks,
Charlie

Looking good Charlie! Is there a new steam engine room?

Not until I build my new workshop.

If my wife has her way, the whole collection will relocate to the Ranch.

I am a weather buff and make it a hobby too. I see a great place for a wireless weather station. And a lighted windsock! Lovely country and privacy that is hard to find. Looking great Charlie.

Tim:

I have a Davis Instruments Model 6122 Vantage Pro2 + WeatherLink Live Bundle.

If you have an iPhone, download the Davis Weather Link App.

If you search Vernon, Texas you can find my Weather Station (POD1961) and have access to it.

I track about 20 different Weather Stations around the US.

Post by: Dampfopa on December 23, 2021, 07:09:50 am: Hello Charly,

you can be proud of what you have done with the house. I envy you the peace and quiet you have there. We have a federal highway running past the house. I said earlier today in a post about Gil's new home that the lawn is already substantial. When I look at your video and then the lawn around the house, to horizon just lawn, always lawn. You are going to need some help!😂😂😂

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Post by: txlabman on December 22, 2021, 09:39:00 am: I haven’t posted any new videos in a couple months.

Projects continue at the 1904 Farm House.

We demoed the collapsing side porch, extended the wrap around porch and built a new enclosed side porch.

You can also see the new Traeger Smoker that my son-in-law bought for the house. 🤠

Here is a before picture of the house when we bought it in January 2020:
