3 years ago, I met the home inspector as we prepared to close on our new place.

I took a drone photo that day.

Today, (3 years to the day) I retook that drone photo. Lots has changed. The house and garage used to sit in the shadows. Its been non stop projects since then.

We did logging land clearing

Remodeled the inside of the house

Added the Garden of Eat'n

added the chicken coop and run

Added a couple out buildings

Added a maple sap cooking shack

Built the headquarters for our home business

Built an entrance/security gate

Planted apple and nut trees

Added a Generac whole home backup generator

Replaced the roof on the house with a steel roof

Replaced the 500 gal, LP tank with a 1000 gal.

Moved the 500 gal LP tank to heat the new headquarters building

Bought a tractor/backhoe to make the projects possible

There will be ongoing projects but the best part is, Its all paid off.

Great work. Unfortunately I'm getting "Content not viewable in your region" for the photos. :(
