A software engineer out on 4 acres. Journeying to figure out how things work and blogging along the way.

After purchasing land and building a house we learned the hard way that cleaning up an acreage, planting a garden, moving snow, doing landscaping, raising bees, felling trees all need tools...and we didn't have anything but a drive to make this place our home.

I'd like to document things we enjoy, thing we've learned, and mistakes we've make. DISCLAIMER: this isn't a DIY site, it's more of a DIY-ATYOR (Do it yourself at your own risk). Sometimes the battles are won by perseverance and learning by making mistakes. Here I'll follow my dad's motto, Learn by doing.
