I decided to take a few pics of the 2 acres that I bought to build a new house and shop on before the vegitation started growing and the bulldozers do their thing.

I have a small stream that flows through the middle.

Scott,

I believe this falls into the 'Gloat' category for sure!!!

Congratulations!

Scott,


That does definitely belong in the gloat categorey. Now you have made me envious and going to have to start looking for some land. How many acres do you have? You lucky dog you.

Scott, your new property looks wonderful! I know how exciting it is finding a place like that and seeing your dream begin to unfold before you! We purchased some land a little over a year ago, and it is a wonderful feeling to have the privlage of owning something so special. I sure hope you continue to keep us up to date on the home and shop progress, I can't wait to see it! Congratulations, and the best of luck to you Scott.

Yea,

Its really exciting and with a little anxiety. We bought this in September of last year, have spent the time since getting a plan we liked and all the other stuff. If all goes as planned, I'll be able to show some pics within 2-3 weeks with bull dozers. As mentioned in another post, I hope to salvage some lumber out of the big trees that have to be removed. I'll also be looking ofr a tree service that will much up a good bit of the other for use along the creek and areas away form the house. I'll also be making my own cabinets, so a bunch of work for me.

We'll see.

Roy,

It's in Shawnee. My land backs up to Shawnee Mission Pkwy, just West of I-435. 6422 Gladstone to be specific. I will probably chop up some wood to save for turning blanks, I will be more than happy to share some for those that visit me this summer.

Steve,

A reverse story and half, we'll have two bedrooms upstairs and effectively 3 in the lower area. The lot fits perfectly for a nice walk out with 10 foot basement walls.

Shop will be 28x36 w/10ft ceilings, limited by codes and mula. But it will suit me fine. The exteriors will be stucco with low maintenance where-ever I can do it. The shop will have a one-car garage door and a few windows and a standard entry door. I think I'll have good ventilation and also hopefully will not lose to much AC/Heat.

All walls are 2x6.
