Our attempt to document Florida Homesteading @ Liberty Retreat. Our cash only homesteading of 10 unimproved acres in the Florida panhandle into a home first, then build smaller cottages for long term/short term rentals. Camping sites too, which are available now. Only 30 min from Destin shopping & beaches. Email for more info. Why is it taking so long? There will be many stages, steps and mini-projects required to make this happen, as well as the most important element -cash-

Welcome to our world.

The Deck Continues...Again
Sonny and I banged in the nails that hold the joists to the outer headers today. Most of the posts are getting solid in the ground thanks to the recent overnight rains. That made most of our work fairly easy. There were some pushing, pulling and prying required to get proper alignment on some. Both Sonny and I have determined that the nails we have been purchasing, SUCK! The seem to come pre-bent. And no, we aren't accepting any criticism about sloppy hammer work. :P Besides after all the hammering; arms are getting very tired.
We still need to order the posts for the center section of decking that runs between the buildings.
In this picture you can see the poor tree we had to drop. It's lying on the far right. We all miss it, but it will make for nice firewood.
