I was always told to never count my chickens before they hatch, but I can’t help it.  I sat down and went through the rough list of what I want to do with this property.  I was actually surprised by the number of items.  Its a good eye opener for the next property that will most likely require more work.  The outdoor items list is kind of bare at the moment, but I haven’t really wandered and day dreamed the yard yet.  Outside is where I really get inspired to tinker.   Here’s the list:
