The loan came through and we officially had our home. The new chickens were happy I'm sure as they were wondering what was to become of them. Now the real work was to begin. We had a lot of help from our friends at church, several of the kids from our youth group came over and spent a couple of days helping paint the inside and general clean up of the outside. The place was a bank repo and hadn't been lived in for about two years so the pastures were dead, brown and the ground was hard as concrete. After a couple of weeks of water is was very encouraging to see the place come back to life. As example look at the very bottom picture and compare to the top picture in this post, they are taken from the same angle only about six weeks apart. No fertilizers or chemicals, just water and poop.
wow... i had forgotten what it had looked like when you first got it. So many changes now....
