Getting real close!

Here is the latest clearing progress from last weekend.  I have a backhoe reserved for the day after Christmas to New Year's Eve to do the excavation.  Sure would be nice if my beast of a crawler/loader would stay running.  Renting the backhoe for a week will cost about $1200.  I've got my concrete contractor lined up, my steel Perka frames have been ordered and should arrive sometime in January.  I've planned on building a barn for years and it's about to become reality!  Thank you God, thank you Nia...
