We met with the owners this last weekend and it looks like we will be able to purchase the home directly from them. They will meet us out at the property next week and give us keys (although they already told us where all of the hidden keys are).
Some of the biggest challenges for us will not be moving boxes and furniture, but moving pigs and chickens. Livestock takes a lot of infrastructure and this new property doesn't have any fencing worth keeping (at least as far as J is concerned). And not only do we need to build fencing, we need to look at alternatives for several power-sapping livestock items. The two most important items as we head into winter will be trough de-icers and heat lamps. Unfortunately, both take a LOT of power.
But for now, we will start moving our personal items out and continue to keep the animals at grandpas. J has to drive into town daily for work and can feed on the way in and the way back. In the end, we will be living between houses until we can create the necessary pens to happily house everyone at the new ranch.
