 Oak trees - I added a picture of the land.  you can see the tree clusters I am referring to.  I am with the belief that that amount of them is a hinderance to effective pasture rather than an assistance.  Maybe a thinning of them would be an  overall improvement.  I don't want to remove everything if I don't have to.  I like trees. even trees that don't directly supply food for the farm.  I like that having some can be shade too.  I just don't want my general love of trees to be the reason I don't have enough pasture for my livestock.  I actually want to plant as many trees as I can around the border of the property

I'm thinking along the lines of gear tooth wheels and a crank to hold the spring from unwinding when no power is exerted on it. This way, the horses can have a rest and wind the spring indefinately

When my dog was poisoned last year (giant toad), one of the folk remedies that my local friends recommended was what they called ceniza. I looked it up, and it is simply the Spanish word for ash

I don't care about making it pretty (unless I do end up staying another decade which I doubt) but I do want to use my time wisely to invest as much of my time/sweat equity to maximize the equity I get out of it in the end when I sell. I intend to ask for fair market value, so i want to maximize that with minimizing my time and money inputs.

And yeah I think we'll do it ourselves, doesn't make sense to use a realtor when we can just hammer it all out ourselves. nice to know it will only take about 20 extra hours!
