So we have 2nd level approval. Apparently underwritting team didn't care at all about me having extra funds. Last 2 known hurdles with loan: appraisal scheduled Friday and survey on 30th.

You know how I said financing was already approved? Apparently that was a lie.😡 AND... Eveyone says don't take out new debt while trying to purchase house/property. No one mentioned- don't accept your inheritance from your grandpa dying of COVID. 🥺 Spent all day Friday and today, trying to get...

Plants are not liking the heat. I've been watering but today I had bright idea. Filled up a gallon jug and put mouth down into each planter with stick of firewood to brace it. Trying to replicate the delicate, tiny glass selfwatering bulbs.

Found a name husband and I both like: Griffin Woods Ranch -The griffin is on husband's family crest. -The back third of the property is woods inside the floodplain. -Ranch because we are focusing on animals

@flowerbug The fenceline is currently good enough to keep a horse inside. What I can see is 4 strand barbed wire. We will be on piped utility district water. Johnson County will not issue a well drill permit for our land. The city limits is the other side of the street.

So no truth in advertising, gotcha. Creek behind property is East Buffalo Creek. Couldn't think on anything useful with that especially since I do not have access/water rights to creek.

Thanks @baymule! Think hard about farm name. Mainly will be used for farmers market stuff. Bedlam's Barnyard Bedlam Squad Farm ie BS farm Margali's Farm Follies ie MF Follies Any suggestions considering 12.9 acres with dry creek down to woods staffed by our family insanity?

Pretty sure this property is ours. :) We are in underwritting with survey scheduled for ~June 30th. Next hurdle is I need to figure out where to park RV and temp barn. The property has Ag Valuation for property taxes. The current grazing tenant may not stay so I need to get animals onsite by...

And most importantly we have accepted offer on 12.9 acres. Survey and financing has already been approved.

Got some mulberries from neighborhood tree. Not sure how to clean them though. There are tiny bugs that don't come off with cold water rinse...

Getting a small handful of berries every other day. I think the asparagus I started with dormant roots is growing. I'm not sure what the plant looks like.

Got another bowl of blueberries yesterday. I also have an offer in on another parcel, 12.9 acres raw.

First harvest of blueberries. Decent handfull from one bush. They didn't last long. 😄

🤔 Yesterday MIL mentioned they don' t have enough chickens to keep their ag exemption. 🤔 Leasing bees is qualified activity and only requires 6 hives... I could have my bee hives, they get a few $$ and their ag exemption... 😏

@baymule we did and they rejected it. The truss was manufacturing defect. It had a big knot in the wood which cracked.

😭😭😭 illegal septic system, broken roof trusses, noncode electric panels, etc to tune of $60k mandatory repairs. 😭😭😭

Walked the acreage during inspection today. There is a mulberry and a pecan tree on property along with live oaks. Yummy! I don't know how to tell if good pasture or not. It's green with lots bare spots and long dead grass smashed down. Husband is still there with inspector.

Planted asparagus in blue barrel. The crowns were really brown and dry but flexible so we'll see if they grow.

Just south of Cleburne in Johnson county. Inspection is scheduled for Tuesday. Closing will be June 3rd if everything goes to plan.

I'm not sure if loafing barn will stay there. That is the NW corner of lot and lowest, soggy elevation. From SW along that edge, it is garage, pool, barn, quonset hut for tractor, and loafing shed.
