What a difference a summer makes

So we bought our little 25 acre slice of heaven last June. Worked on mostly the inside of the house last year (painting, a new bathroom, built in bookshelves etc.), and this summer we had plans to transform the outside. 

Since about mid May, we’ve

-Built a huge raised garden, fenced in for the many hungry deer we have here

-Built a new driveway to the existing barn so I can properly store all my construction equipment/tools etc. 

-Painted the exterior of the barn, and 25’ utility shed that’s behind the barn so everything matches and is close in colour to the house

-My brother brush hogged all the fields this summer, they haven’t been done in several years so they were getting pretty overgrown 

-Built a 30’x16’ lean to off the side of the barn to store the boat in year round

-Just finished our new year round greenhouse, with granite veneer on the front, as well as on the front of the barn to match

Needless to say, the boat collected a bit more dust this year than I wanted it to, but now that everything is pretty much wrapped up, I’m hoping to get some fish slime on it the next couple months before winter, and definitely gonna be out more next spring. 
 

It’s been a hard working summer between my regular work and stuff around the house, but when I look out the window, it sure was worth it. 
Here’s a pic from last fall and today.
