Breezy Ridge Farm 2014 Project to date (Photos)

[mike69440]

I realized I have not taken any pictures of my logging road. I've been just too busy scrambling to get firewood for the winter. my poor old excavator needs a little TLC once I walk in out of the wood, before winter.

Major work this year was:

AFTER THE SNOW MELTED
Add risers to septic tank.

Get the gardens ad greenhouses built and reinforced.

Build the aviary (Doubles as our Zombie Cage)

Built the cow camp. Finished the culverts across the field so the little moo-moos would not get there hooves wet.

Getting new Chicken hotel ready. Note what I did to the bolt on forks to pick up that sucker. Measures 12'4" x 8'8" , built like a tornado shelter, and after insulating, wiring & paneled, weighs a good ton!

I do not get on the forum much anymore, but like to check in now and then.

Did you do all that rock work around the house? That's VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

Loafing shed with a window view for the cattle. Nice.

Pretty impressive chicken hotel. I insulated mine, because I had some left over insulation, but I have the only insulted chicken coop around here. Is it useful in NH?

Yes I did with a lot of help from the wife, my PC-75UU@ excavator & L39 TLB.
Now that I turned 60 and look what we done in the last 9 years turning the place from a wooded ridge to a home & farm, I say once is enough!

Mike,
Like you I don't have time to get on the forum much. Your place and work looks great.

I work with a couple of guys from NH and other than the winters they talk about all the rocks. Did you harvest all the rock from your property?

The basic geology is galical till with bare spots of ledge. A few years ago, only 10.000 or so this, place was under hundreds of feet of ice. so there is a lot of varied rocky mixture that were carried by the ice, while the bedrock & native ledge is granite or crappy sandstone like rock.

Harvest all the rock, I could not live so long!
