This is how the old road looked. I started
working with my little tractor and was able to get a lot done.
.
I kept at it and the runway is currently 700'
x 60'
.
Rodney showed up with a huge tractor and we
finished 1000' x 70' in 2 days.
It is planted with field peas right now and they are starting to come up.
The grass will be planted in the fall. 8/22/2008

The first photo is looking north, the second
one is looking south. The field peas are up and the Deer and Turkeys are
loving them. 9/15/2008

I moved the big brush pile at the north end
and extended the runway 200'. Now I have a total of 1200' X 70'. We
replanted with a variety of things that the deer and turkeys like. The photo
in front of the tractor shows a huge root that I dug out. It's over 6' long.

I took out another row of trees, making the
runway 80' wide. The rye grass is doing good so far. We were notified by the
State that the runway is approved, and can be used after 2/27/2009.
.
The plane is coming along nicely, and will be
too big for the garage soon.
.
I bought a pole barn kit, and have most of it
up already.

The pole barn going up.

I'm going to add another 10 feet to the rear.

The grass is growing in very
well now. The taxiway, from south end, from north end.
.
I finally got around to putting down a liner
and finishing the pond.
