The barbed wire fencing project has taken much longer than we had expected, but with some new tools in place it is going much better now! Chris is just about finished with closing up the entrance, and then he will finish up the left side and move to the right side. Thankfully the back and front were already fenced!
Barbed wire is not easy to work with!
Front entrance
TXDOT told us where the entrance had to go since we are on a 2 lane highway.
Once the house is built we'll change the gate to an automatic one, but this works great for now!
We have been debating on whether to remodel 1/2 of the shipping container into a small cabin (8x20), or buy a portable building and turn it into a cabin (14x30). Right now we're leaning toward remodeling 1/2 of the shipping container because of low initial cost and proximity to the electricity. In the long run a bigger cabin would be much more usable and would be in a better location with a view of the pond. But we still need to think about this more.
This was an awesome surprise! Our back neighbor has cows! This will be part of our view from our back porch and we are excited! We plan to have our own cows in the front pasture eventually (once the fencing is complete), but this was neat to see!
