Retired from my regular job, but have been keeping busy at the farm, which I rent out as I cannot afford to farm.
I live in the city, but spend a lot of time at the farm in the summers (1 hour drive).
I have 2 quarters of land, 2 miles apart. On the South quarter was a log "shack" that was built by a gentleman in 1932; a piece added on in 1947.
I split the 2 parts and had a neighbor move the small shack to a treed area at the North farm. I wanted to save this old cabin, as it was made from local spruce trees and all logs were hand-hewn with a Broad Axe, which I still have.
The floor joists, ceiling joists, and rafters are all logs. I saved my Mother's beautiful ENTERPRISE wood-burning stove, and have that inside.
I took my time re-doing the cabin and fixing up a campsite with a fire-pit. I have two 8Ns and 1 Ford 641. The one 8N is just a poor working tractor. Shown here (if pics upload) is the 8N moving an "important building" closer to the cabin, with a forklift I built for the 3 point hitch.
