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:

Charlie, nice hideout to calm down and get rid of the city stress!
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.
Cheers
Jürgen

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.
