My Goofy Goal

Now that my dream of joining the journalism world is starting to happen, I'm going to have to start on my next dream. I've always wanted a chunk of land for my own. Originally, I wanted a hundred acres and put my house dead center of it, but that quickly shrank to a more realistic 3-10 acres. Just enough for my master plan.

*MASTER PLAN*


1. Buildings - I want a garage, a decent house, and a barn.

• Garage - We have a house with a 2-car garage now, but anyone that has seen our home knows it's not a garage - it's our living room. I like being able to fix my vehicles when they break. It's frustrating to have to do it on a sloped driveway or having to go to my dad's place.

• House - I don't need a huge house, but I do need one that has 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen. Two bathrooms because I get sick a lot and sharing a bathroom when you're sick sucks. A larger kitchen would be fantastic. My current kitchen is the size of the smallest walk-in closet I've seen. I love cooking when I have the space for it. I HATE it when I don't.

• Barn - There's a lot of reasons for this. I'm hoping to have some chickens; maybe a horse and cow later. Mostly I want it for our current animals. I'm hoping to modify a part of future barn so we can keep the cats in the barn instead of the house (chicken wire) and provide a safe place to the dogs to go when we leave them in the yard. 

2. Land - Garden, tree fence, & paintball course.

• Garden - I'm hoping to have a decent garden taking up most of the front yard; maybe with a coy pond.

• Tree Fence - Plant crab apple trees along the sides for the property to make animal/human proof fence. This is optional.

• Paintball Course - On the back acre, I'm wanting to have a paintball course for Husband. Maybe some cars, maybe a shed here or there, so he and his friends can play back there.

Now to take over the world!... I mean save up.
