From the history of the farm to the local history. @73 I've let him treat it like it's still his. He hunts here and has helped me cut a new road in along with clearing drainage ditches and clearing over growth out of the middle field for the blueberrys we planted this year. He even brush hogged the lower & upper fields till I got my own setup. Again congrats on buying some dirt. Don't listen to negative Nancy ( probably sour grapes anyways) The one poster is right you will have projects for the rest of your life. Don't worry though they will almost all be self rewarding. View Quote That's so cool that you are keeping the older guy involved. He loves the land and appreciates getting to still be a part of it, I'm certain. You will learn more from him than you will from anywhere else. Very lucky to have that. |

We just closed on 5 acres in north Mobile County Al.
It's on a county paved road, power and water at the street. We will have to have a septic tank installed. We plan on moving our 5th wheel RV to the property to live in while we build, or have one built, a tiny house. I will retire I'm two months and it will just be me and my wife. Our plan is to live in tiny house and if kids or grandkids want to visit they can stay in RV. I look forward to your progress on this. |

Now a small house…..yes nothing wrong with that. The tiny house movement was neat but most people who build one….tire of it quickly. If budget is limited, built a small home on a slab. Metal barn siding. Metal roof. Heavy insulation. 2 bed and 2 bath and both can have just showers. 2 baths are better than one in case something fails and 1 bathroom is out of commission for a little while. Open floor plan and since you are in AL, mini split heat pumps to heat and cool the house. |

Thanks for the comments.
Yeah most tiny houses are around 400 sq ft or smaller. We planning on around 800 sq ft. Which is tiny compared to the house we are selling. I guess a small house would be more appropriate. Thanks. |

Got the title Friday and started working yesterday.
Attached File Attached File We got the outside of the barn over 50% cleared and then the rain made it too hard. Today we should finish and stack the wood. I have to call some people about bush hogging and trash removal. |

Think it just needs residing on the gable end or will all the trusses need to be replaced? I’d imagine the walls are solid since they are block.
