Welcome to the adventure

When we first looked at the listing for the farm in Beldenville, WI on the MLS there were beautiful pictures of the house, land, pole shed and converted studio.  There was even a 360 degree view of the property.  It looked very interesting despite being higher than we wanted to spend.  We decided to do a drive-by to check it out.

When we were coming closer we saw a dilapidated round barn up on the hill.  I pointed it out to Michelle and both of us commented on how cool it was.  Then we realized it was on the property we came to look at!  I think I instantly fell in love at that point.

Fast forward a few months and we have finalized purchase of the property and settled in to focus on the goals of that we have.  One is to begin having some animals and living closer to the food we eat.  The second is to rebuild one of the most interesting structures in the area.

This blog will be used to help facilitate the rebuilding of the barn.  It is a daunting journey at this point with a very clear end point.  We are ready to start but will need some guides along the way.
