THREE DAYS!

Panic! AHHH!

So much to do after the gate opens. First I get to actually see the house and property. I feel pretty familiar with the house at this point but I am looking forward to exploring the land itself and the buildings that were given no value when we were purchasing but that I am hoping can be useful for something. Their are two, one small one that was an RV carport thing that I think I will be turning into a chicken coops. But the building I am MOST interested in accessing is the 200′ shedrow stables. I am hoping its fixable, its been neglected a long time but I am hoping the bones are good enough that I can make use of it.

I have big plans for the shedrow if its salvageable I am going to return it to its former glory and add runs to each stall. Its at the center of the property nearly so its perfect as a place to set up runs into the different pastures, stalls, and round pen for handling horses that have not had much or any handling. I plan to do all feeding from stalls and every horse will have a stall which will make ensuring every horse gets what they are supposed to alot easier.

I also intend to strip the land of 80% of the trees, right now its a very treed piece. My goal is to reduce the trees down heavily. I plan to sell the timber and hopefully get enough $ from that to pay for things. I want to return the property to mostly pasture with the thickest trees being more on the edges of the property for privacy and just have a few shade trees left up.

I also need to change the floor out in the house pretty soon after signing. I was hoping to hire it out but so far all the companies that do it are booked out so I may get to learn how to do it myself. Its vinyl sheet flooring so it should not be that hard just alot of work. I am still hoping to find a professional but with me wanting it done within 14 days of moving in that is not likely. I really do not want to wait too long to get my stuff out of storage. I plan to be sleeping on an air mattress at first while waiting on floors to be done and with 6 cats thats not going to be a long term situation lol.

I then need to figure out how to get my stuff from storage 3 hours away to the house clearly movers will have to be involved and I am REALLY hoping to get that done before the 1st so I do not have to pay another month on storage.

I was concerned about putting up a fence around the house ASAP because of the dog but hes so clingy I do not see that being as big an issue at first but regardless I will be putting up gates because I hate people being able to just pull into my property. I found these neat GPS electric fence collars I might try out. They work similar to an underground fence collar but instead of using underground wire it uses GPS coords and cellular networks to trigger the collar. This is better than the underground fence method because it can tell whether the dog is coming or going and only actives when the dog is approaching the geo fence from the property side but not when they are crossing the line from the other side. This means the animal would never be corrected for coming back. Wonder if it could work on horses and goats lmao!
