Update on the 1904 Farmhouse Restoration & Flying my DJI Air 2S
« 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:

But where are the hills and the forest to cut your christmas tree...?
Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄🎅

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.

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.
