Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

My standard Mother's Day gift is a 5 pound box of deck screws. Hahaha.

Worked on the new flooring in the master bedroom tonight. Stopped after finishing the closet as the floor vent opening in the right corner needs to be blocked off and the small closet needs the remaining carpet staples removed.

I know exactly where you are! When we bought our Redneck Mansion Doublewide, I ripped out all the carpet and laid unfinished white knotty pine, sanded, whitewashed and finished it, throughout the whole house. Had never done floors before......

You will be so proud when the floors are done! Be sure to post pictures!

Miss @Baymule, you should post a link to those posts. I remember reading those posts and was really impressed with your work!

Managed to get some pictures of the two oak tree types I've found so far on the property. This is the one that has pokey leaves:

And this one has the big soft leaves:

So, interior live oak? And California black oak?

I would have never identified that first tree as an oak, I only know the oak leaf shape of the second. Those are some LONG acorns on the first one.

I didn't even realize it had an acorn in the picture until I posted it lol. These are the oaks I'm used to, but the bark is a bit different than the ones at my parents house growing up. Not sure why, possibly they are different due to the horses chewing on them or something the tenants did?

In my non expert opinion yes.

Really? When i think of oak trees the first one is what i think of. By far the most common oak in this neck of the woods.
