The Old Homestead  Here we have a video of our basement and our woodshop, a week or two after we moved into the homestead on the Long Yang Family Farm. It was a lovely time when we moved out of the city to the countryside. We had lived in a subdivision inside the city limits, where each lot was only about a quarter of an acre.
