In the Beginning, there was empty land

In the beginning, there was empty land, with a 20'x30' metal shed and a 1600 square foot house. Here are pictures of what the land looked like about 2-4 weeks after the purchase agreement (April 2004) was signed and after the grass was mowed.

View of back half of field to the right of the driveway. The long building in the backright corner is a poultry house from my neighbor, Mr. Dave Hassell. This section, where you see the burn pile in the middle, will be a collection pile for brush as the site is being cleared and pruned over the next few years.
