The LandsofAmerica.com office recently saw an article in the Daily Caller, proclaiming that there was a proposal from the Obama administration that would have “prevent[ed] children from doing farm chores.” The article, seen here, states that the new rules would keep minors from working “in the storing, marketing, and transporting of farm product raw materials.”  In addition to this sweeping reform, this new plan would also revoke government approval of certifications earned in groups like 4-H and FFA and replace them with a 90 hour federal training program. 

As referenced the last three months; Buying or selling real estate in today’s market requires owner(s) or prospective owner(s) to understand more than just the comparative value of the investment they are about to transact.

If the roof was the icing on top, then the doors and windows are the cherry on the icing!  It's amazing to see how the doors and windows just dress the barn up to create an incredible look.  It's also great to see the views of the lake from inside the barn.  At this point, we're going to have to call this a Lodge and not a barn any more :)

The roof is definitely the "icing on the cake".  There were about 8 guys that showed up and started laying down the sheets of roofing.  The metal roofing had to be cut a lot because of the many pieces of trim, but it's looking great.

It's Texas A & M Land Conference time again! 

The LandsofAmerica.com Buyer's barn looked really nice with the exterior wood almost complete.  One thing was missing though - the stain.  If you've ever stained wood then you know it's not easy.  Most people make a mess out of it.  The painting crew came out a couple days ago and have been working hard and making it look easy.  These guys know what they're doing.

As referenced the last two months; Buying or selling real estate in today’s market requires owner(s) or prospective owner(s) to understand more than just the comparative value of the investment they are about to transact.
