I have been absent these last few weeks from Ct and Ranchers as we had hubbies family over from Europe for a month. 8)
We also did a bit of renovations. After wanting to do this for 7 years we finally did it. We ripped out the old deck around the house and replaced it, as well as built on a new huge deck on the east side of the house. The contractor took 2 weeks longer than we were told so it was very frustrating having a mess while company was here. We also finally got our hay off and had the best crop ever since we bought the place. It made up for the drought from last year and I will have hay to hoard for emergencies.

The house before


Trees gone and fence gone, grabbed some pasture for lawn


Finally finished,










Celebrated with a deck party and about 40 friends, I served prime rib and pulled pork as well as a Keg on hand . was a really nice evening and some guests stayed overnight so I did a midnight lunch and then made everyone brunch in the morning. It was a great way to break the new deck in.





A few more things need to be done, like the new fence put up, stain the deck and the new custom french doors still need to be installed, so it is going to be a busy summer and fall still.
