[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1327256, member: 97"] Been a busy spring around the home place this year.. Besides calving we have a bunch of construction going on... Grandma and I decided that we will never leave this place since all the family and friends are in this area - have no plans/desire to move south- and I can't stand areas with lots of people- so we decided to take some of our retirement savings and upgrade the hacienda... Altho we are now the only ones living here all the time- this is the place where all the kids, adopted kids, grandkids, inlaws, and friends want to come to for family get-togethers, holidays and just to hang out... And we were running out of room to entertain as the family expanded ...So the construction has started... Building a new attached garage with a family/living room over the top.. Also adding a new mudroom for the ground level south entrance...
