The larger project that I referred to in my last post was transforming a 9 acre combine/tractor salvage yard into a property that we and our boys could call home. 1500 tons of scrap, a few sore backs, and 5 years later.... here we are. I have attached a picture of what the property looked like 5 years ago when we moved out to the house. The pond location is the top left quarter of the picture. The only remnants of the machinery ever being there are the occasional shards of metal that puncture the tires on my riding mower.
