Little by little.

A fresh coat of paint on the curb. A couple flower pots.

A little cleanup.

None of it changes the world, but it does make our little corner of Annawan look a little better than it did yesterday.

The Middle Coop still has a long way to go, but we're excited to keep bringing an old building back to life.

Thanks for following along on the adventure.

Middle Coop Update:

The good news is we cleaned up the connection between the buildings.

The bad news is now we can actually see all the things that need fixed.

Sometimes ignorance really is bliss." 😂

Started cleaning out the old connection between the future Middle Coop and the former bar next door.

At this point I’ve officially watched too many episodes of American Pickers and not enough episodes of Hoarders.

Every shovel full I’m thinking:

‘THIS is where we find the hidden mason jar full of cash, gold coins, old baseball cards, or prohibition whiskey…’

Instead it’s mostly:
• moldy clothes
• mystery smells
• 47 pounds of wet insulation
• things that should never be wet
• and enough random junk to start a raccoon antique mall.

One of these days we’re gonna uncover a suitcase full of money.

Today was not that day.

Middle Coop update:

We painted the building red so nobody accidentally mistakes it for a boring place with zero personality.

Current progress:
• Building is standing
• Rooster has accepted his management position
• Lights work
• Stress level: moderate to severe
• Budget: let’s not discuss that publicly

Proof that you can be overweight, not tall, bald, glasses, and a red head and still be mildly productive and slightly successful. Married to a hot wife and have two great kids.

If you fall into this category of a man, and you're not there yet, there is hope for you! 😂

Actually just happy to make some progress, this is going to be an awesome makeover!

Just starting on the outside.

Thinking of doing an overhang and having it look similar to this mock up photo.

I think it would POP!

What do you guys think?

I have a bad habit of forgetting to take before and after photos. You have to imagine that pile of branches was trees growing around the Middle Coop. That said....

Big progress was made yesterday at the future Paxton's Middle Coop.

The first stage is always the same — clean it up and start fresh.

Brush piles, trees, debris, and years of buildup are getting cleared out so we can start bringing this place back to life.

We’re excited to create something new for the community and appreciate everyone following along on the journey.

More updates coming soon as the transformation begins.

Thanks for following along with us as we start the process of creating a new endeavor, Steph and I really appreciate it!...

Thanks for following along with us as we start the process of creating a new endeavor, Steph and I really appreciate it! Also sometimes we turn on a lot of lights to pretend it's summer time and the sun is still out during the winter.🌞
