New farm!

[weimerh]

Congratulations! It’s a lifestyle choice, enjoy your passion. We’re 16 years in and still have a long list of farm projects. I loved that area when I was in graduate school, and no snow to slow you down!

Found a tree stump with pine sap collection drip pans. Last time this area was used for pine tar was the 1840s. Also found stone/concrete property markers from a 1903 survey!

Amazing! That's how old those pans are? Are there still pine trees standing nearby?

 

[Walt's Fault]

There are several hundred pine trees still on the property with some identified as more then 100 yeas old..I have still yet to be at to explore the back half of the property due the thick ground cover.

Just found a copy of the Quit Claim Deed for our farm dated 1909!

How cool is that!!!
How are you with the hurricane coming in? I don't know your location but I sure hope it all misses you.

Our 3 acres is in Brooksville where we are with the horses and the storm went from directly in the path to south east of us. The new farm in Gainesville was also in the path but as of now the storm should be to the east. We will get some wind and rain but nothing too bad as long as it keep its projected path we will be fine. Thank you for asking. Don't know how to find out if there are others on here in the path incase they need assistance.

So it's been a while since last post. Been clearing land, getting Agricultural exemption, property master plan approved and preparing old house for sale. We are started "barn" remodeling!

Is that what they mean when they say, "oh this is a perfect rehab! All the demo's done and it has good bones"?

 

[Walt's Fault]

I wish the demo was done! The place is an equestrian nightmare! Pipes, extension cords and rusty aircraft cables laying everywhere! At least it will be as we want it!

So I have 150 feet of fencing to finish before I can relocate the horses! Ran 7000 feet in the last 3 weeks! Most of it property line that will be closed in later for more fields.

Wow! You've certainly been busy! The fence looks great! I'm excited for you!

Nice looking fence. That must have kept you busy recently.
Keep the updates coming, will you? Happy New Year!

So........ we closed on the property August 26th, we gave the seller 30 days to move. After numerous court dates, almost $10k in attorney fees we just got the keys to the house yesterday January 7th! Now we have to go after her for fees, damages and expenses. She destroyed the house (Google Joe's Apartment) and left everything which will cost us even more. The bad part is she is a process server for the Sheriff's department and thinks she has the right to do this. The absolute worst part is today she threatened me on my property while in uniform and I actually had to call 911 and fire a round to get her to back off! What has this world come to? We had been very patient with her and continued to work the property to get ready to move the horses. I can't even post a picture of what they did because it is that disgusting.

I’m really sorry this is happening. Keep up the good fight! I hope it resolves in your favour asap so you can focus on all your beautiful horses instead of this rubbish!

 

[MaryFlora]

I’m so sorry you are all caught up in something like this. It takes such a toll beyond the finances.

You have wonderful plans for this property, keep hanging on to that dream as you go forward one step at a time.

 

[Dragon Hill]

What a nightmare! It sounds like she needs a little time out-- in prison. I hope you had her served with trespass notice.

 

[HersheyMint]

Wow! I'm so sorry what your are going through. I hope it get better for you soon so you can enjoy what you are/ have been looking forward to

Holy crap!! Wishing you the very best!!
