White Mountain Ranch

I finally figured out how to get a picture of the Ranch on to the blog from another program. Now you can see a little more of what we have. I'll try and give you a picture tour.

The square in the top left is a pond, which will be our water supply. That is Warren's job of the week, to get the water system functional, winterized, and work at figuring out the filtering system necessary to make it drinkable. The driveway comes in at the middle of the top, to the right is the Big Machine shed. To the left is the Little House that we are fixing up. On down the lane is the Big House that I want to move over to the other side of the Big Machine shed and then we will fix it up and move into it. On down the lane is the Three Bay Shop, on this picture there is a little shed beside it, that is all gone except for the concrete floor. Around the circle drive is the Little Machine shed and the Meat House for hanging meat. The huge building at the bottom is a pole barn built with telephone poles. To the north of the Huge Pole barn is the Barn with small silo pad beside it. To the west is the Little Pole barn with a concrete floor. The bottom of the property is mostly trees with small creek wandering through it. Some day we would like to put another pond down there.
Here are some pictures of the buildings.
Front of Little House, this is the one we are remodeling. The sheet rock taper is texturing this week.

It was a cloudy day when I took the pictures so you can't see the mountains but they are close and we can see three glaciers, the spit and some water. I can't wait for my new trail mower to arrive, the grass is knee high. Jayce and I are working at getting all the junk hauled out of the weeds and into burn piles. It will be a long term project, but Jayce enjoys driving the bobcat around.
