After a couple of hectic weeks of final preparation, this week we had our first glimpse of what lies beneath the surface on our property.

After a lot of consideration, we decided to part ways with our architects. Since then, everything has been turned upside down...in a good way!

Between our travel trailer, equipment trailer and portable sawmill we're no strangers to towing, and this week we added another trailer to our collection!

We visited the Rockler store in Salem, NH to pick up some exciting new tools - a Sawstop Jobsite Table Saw and Dewalt DW735X planer.

Our projected final frost date is fast approaching so we've been planning this year's gardening projects and getting things ready to plant.

Even though we're still clearing trees for our house site, this week I've been working on installing a roof!

We continue to make progress with clearing the site, found time to make our first ever homemade maple syrup and traded for some fresh local eggs.

Yes, it's March. And we're in Vermont. And it might have only been 45°F (7°C) on Monday evening but that didn't stop us having our first campfire of 2022.

We've been back in Vermont just over 2 weeks so the honeymoon is over and now it's time to get to work - building projects and felling trees!
