Ah...the stuff I do in the driveway, so I can sweep up the crap and not have it flying up into the air in the garage. And our neighbors are so far away I can do this at 6am (if there's enough light) and not bother anyone. I SOOO wish we had a barn, but they knocked it down 100 years ago when they built the "new" one about 200 yards further away from the house. It's still there. The parcel we own is just the 200 year old house and a bit over an acre including the stream. The real land (600+ acres) was sold with all the adjacent parcels when they broke up the farm in the 70s. We've only been here since 1985. But, we're the first people to own this house who were not direct descendants of the Dutch settlers who built it! The side road is named for the family of the woman from whom we bought the house. She gave us a bunch of photos of the different stages/configurations of the house going back to the 1890s. Great wall art! Was also very useful to the architect every time we made changes to the structure!
