Sally and Dan O’Brien know better than most the rigours of farming and so trying to fit in planning to build a new family home and cope with all the other demands like shearing and harvest season was no small feat.
The Grange modular farmhouse
Nevertheless, the Mid West couple are now the proud owners of a brand-new Grange farm homestead with some customisation to meet their unique needs both now and into the future.
At the time of this writing, the couple hadn’t yet moved into their new home because managing the farm would always need to come first.
Sally said, “We have to deal with shearing followed by harvest, but we will get into that house come hell or high water!”
Deciding factors including a faster construction process
The need to prepare for the future was also central to Sally’s thoughts with their eldest son in Year 12 and the likelihood that, while for the immediate few years, the Grange was larger than required, in coming years things might change.
“The home is for my husband and I and our eldest son when he is not at boarding school, but we know it needs to accommodate our needs into the future including grandchildren one day and perhaps our children taking over the farm,” she said.
“We modified the home so one bedroom is an office that has an external door and is accessible from the verandah.”
