Home and Auto Our new property! - Page 2

**IA_Chiefs_fan** · 04-18-2017, 03:54 PM

We purchased our dream property today! 17 acres, 2 well-stocked ponds, decent amount of timber, place to shoot my guns etc. etc. We plan to list our house in town after my daughter graduates next year. When our house sells, we'll move into the cabins while our dream home is being built.
Years of hard work have gone into making this a reality. Feeling very satisfied and thankful!

(to both of you)

bad ass IA_Chiefs_fan.

actually, both of you.

I'm still renting....so, I've got that going for me.

**Iowanian** · 04-18-2017, 08:14 PM

That's great. Congratulations.

Frazod · 04-18-2017, 08:20 PM

Excellent. Congratulations.

Congrats to both of you IA_Chiefs_Fan and mdchiefsfan. (Hey, you have the same user surname.) Those both look like great places.

**Buehler445** · 04-18-2017, 10:02 PM

I think that cabin may actually be my dream home. Can I live in it while you live in your dream home?

MD - if my first house looked like that I would probably still live there.

Congrats man. I'm happy both of you guys. I didn't used to think I cared about how nice a house was. Until I moved into a decent house. I'm by no means a flashy or fancy person, but comfortable and functional is really worth the money.

That's a hell of a lot nicer than my first house. Congrats!

Thanks everyone! I worked late last night but went there and fished for an hour before it got dark. My wife went and sat on the deck and read a book on her iPad. It is so peaceful there! The place is infested with ticks and some sort of red thorns though.
My plan for the ticks is to get rid of as many raccoons as I can and then get some guinea fowl to eventually release there. They control ticks very well.
As for the thorns, I've got to figure out what they are and how the hell to kill them. I attached a picture. Anyone know what it is and how to permanently murder it?

Very NICE!
Is that in Iowa then? Southern?
We are looking at a piece of property in N.East Iowa on the Yellow River. Prices have went sky high in that area.

I was envious and pondering if I could do something like this until I read about ticks. Ticks creep me out.

Looks like blackberries to me. Sure you want to kill it?
