Farm Progress

Matt remodeled the existing shed/barn to make a big chicken coop
 
Nesting boxes and roosting perch
Here we are just getting started...
The first plants in the ground
We're getting 2 eggs a day so far...the other 4 hens should start laying in a month or so.
These hoops allow us to cover the beds with bird net or with row covers to extend the season into colder weather.
Things are really growing nicely now...
We have tomatoes, zucchini, squash, beans, beets, carrots, cantaloupe, corn, lettuce, mixed greens, and some cover crops mixed in too....the mixed greens are ready to make a salad already!
 My first time out digging!

House Pics: Multi-Purpose room and Living room

I have a few more pics of the house. The first ones are of the multi-purpose room: it is a combo playroom, gym, and school room. These are kind of "before" photos as we will be adding things to the school side of the room in preparation for the new year. Then we have a shot of the living room. We don't have much furniture here yet. We ordered a couch & loveseat, but the couch came with only three legs...so that's obviously not going to work.
School area on the left, gym on the right.
attached to this room is the 2nd kitchen, which we don't use except for the fridge.
