Dear xxx and xxx:
Here's a quick update on a few items
We received the final bids for the generator in Naples. I know
you have a preferred contractor down there, but this was an
expensive project. The original bid from Allman-Weideman
Inc. & Bay Electric was $73,000;. I asked Bob and Marilyn to
let them know we'd put it out to bid and they came back with a
bid of $63,348. (also the meter doesn't need to be moved so
there was an adjustment in the price for this as well) We have
another bid from a qualified contractor of $58,378 from Rowe
and Rowe enterprises. I have asked Bob to call Allman to
review their bid and at least match Rowe's bid. Allman came
back with a revised bid of $60,196.
Question:
1) Do you want to still use Allman and Bay Electric - Bay has
been the preferred Electric company in the past YES NO
2) Can we schedule the work and have permits pulledfor this
generator project in xxxx YES NO
670 Gulf Shore
I've been using Joyce's database to look for realtors in Naples.
Barry DeNicola ( Mike was ready to give him the listing) is not
appropriate with no history in properties of this scale and
price. We did find Bill Estes of Wood associates, who has a lot
of experience with properties in this range, strong
international contact and is one of the top agents in the US.
Last year alone his sales exceeded $150 million. Bill just closed
a 22 million dollar sale last week. I would like to go down to
Naples to interview Bill face to face and have Bob and Marylyn
give us a tour of 670 Gulf only and save your home for later -
We are in prime selling time for xxx.
EFTA01118204
As we discussed, it would be helpful for me to go to xxx when
you are down there, if not before. Let me know when you firm
your schedule and I'll make arrangements through your travel
agent. It may also make sense for me to go up to 'pa to see if
there is anything I that needs to be done until Matt is able to
return to work.
Xxxxx trip YES NO
Xxx Trip for GulfShore YES NO
There are several other items, like selling the 146 acres at xxx
Farm, wildlife habitats for the farm, that may make sense to sit
down and review. I can drop by some time that's convenient
for you, even if it's over the weekend.
Many thanks.

Good Evening xxxx and xxxx,
I have been thinking over the Antique barn restoration on the
circa 1800 Dutch Barn on your property. As an advocate for
restoration of old barns and having completed two circa 1800
barn renovations I commend you for thinking about the process.
In conversation last Sunday I heard xxxx ask what would we use
the barn for? Here are my thoughts.
• Storage for mowers and landscape tools in the winter to allow
us to use the heated area below the office to work on equipment
and furniture or convert this barn to a Woodworking shop for
projects - we can add electricity and a gas heater
• Storage facility seasonal or year round
I also agree that the barn if restored will stop the town from
widening the road in the near future.
Same information on Dutch Barns
Relatively few—probably less than 600 —Dutch barns survive
intact in the 21st century. Those that remain date from the
eighteenth and early 19th century. Dutch barns rarely remain in a
good, unaltered condition. The Dutch Barn Preservation Society
has cataloged hundreds of standing Dutch Barns throughout the
Hudson, Mohawk, and Schoharie Valleys as well as in New Jersey.
Schoharie County - Historian Harold Zoch regularly speaks on
Dutch barns.

Draft Retired Horse Plan 3/14/2012
Hello xxx and xxx,
Please review this 1st draft plan and feel free to add, edit and
delete any information. Our goal with this plan is to make sure
everyone at the farm is clear with the direction you and xxx want
to take with the retired horses.
The retired horses will go out in a group when you and xxx
decide. The two hillside paddocks closest to the main house are
to be used and they will live outdoors as retired horses as
discussed with both you and Robert.
• There are two large paddocks offering shade, sunlight,
shelter, hills for exercise and fresh water.
• There would be a gradual introduction period of introducing
the horses to each other in a group - Melissa & Robert,
please outline how you would like this to work.
• They will be feed grass hay from Aden Farm and we will look
into large round or large square bales to reduce costs, both
hay and labor.
• Daily grooming and checking for ticks will be at either run in
shed. We will create a box of supplies for each shed that will
store inside of shed in a horse proof box.
• Paddocks for the retired horses will be mowed weekly or as
needed. The goal is to rotate the horses between the two
paddocks to reduce overgrazing (weeds and erosion will
occur), reduce tall grass for tick habitat and reduce the
amount of mechanical mowing needed.
• Salt Licks will be provided
• Fly Spray: applied every day if needed.
• Fly mask for retired horses - yes or no? *I would only put
the fly mask on if really necessary, there is risk of getting
stuck in trees and bushes with the mask and dirt and mud
will get stuck in it if they wear it a lot. Present policy per
Karen is put on at AM feed and remove at end of day.
• No Blankets for retired horses
• Horses to receive minimum grain - only enough to mix
supplements - xxx & xxx get pelleted hay, no grain.

Draft Retired Horse Plan 3/14/2012
Benefits from Natural Pasture:
• Low stress
• Restoration of 'herd spirit'
• Harmony with nature and other horses
• Freedom to roam and graze
• Lots of exercise
• Fewer health and hoof problems
• Socialization with other horses • An environment that has
been the ancestral home for horses for
hundreds of years.
5sigautiQiirpmEarenfoLLQnaideratimi
A recent European study showed that it was very beneficial in
socialization/handling of youngsters of 1 to 2 years in age to be
turned out with an older mare or mares that were not there
dames in a herd situation. They were calmer, more easily
approachable and followed the mare in a steady behavior by a
youngster. xxx is a kind mare who is not belligerent or bulling,
but who will not tolerate bad behavior by a youngster. She could
be a great asset in ease of acceptance of handling and
temperament/behavior if turned out with yearlings.

Road Report
One property - many homes and
outbuildings
EFTA01118222
January 26, 2011
Client X Road Report H
Following is an assessment of the condition and repairs needed for roads on
the farm. Many areas need only need top dressing, others will need more
extensive work. This is not an exhaustive report but a general overview.
Home 1
- Main Entrance: (new road) basic road construction is complete.
- Three soft areas that need stone added to roadbed
- Road needs top dressed with stone from house to state road
- Turning / parking area at house needs stone
- Spur between upper and lower parking area needs stone
- Need to finalize exact location of upper parking area
- Also where sidewalk for South entrance joins parking
area
- Plant grass seed between lanes of stone
- Not's: need to know what medium you would like for surface:
- Limestone (blue stone)
- River rock (brown stone) EXAMPLE: North drive loop at home 2
- Extra cost for river rock
Service entrance: (road to South) good existing road.
- Road below grade in some areas
- Add stone to prevent water standing on road bed
- Re-grade edges, build up crown, top dress
- NOTE: currently road is limestone (blue)
Home 2
service entrance:
- Large portion of this road has compacted to the point that
water runs down the road instead of flowing off road bed
- Re-grade trouble spots
- Add stone in lanes to bring up road bed
- Build up crown, top dress
- Continue this from state road to lawn court
EFTA01118223
Home 3:
Orchard entrance:
- Ditches need cleaned of leaves and debris
- Some wash boarding, re-crown and top dress
- North East bank (across from windmill) has a southern
exposure making it difficult to get grass established on the
clay soil.
- Spread good top soil on eroded areas
- Plant grass seed
Orchard to Home 4:
- Clean ditches of leaves and debris
- Re-crown and top dress
- Spur going to Peter's car barn
- needs a ditch to collect run off water (currently water
is washing over drive at the Y)
Home 5:
- Culvert needs to be installed at drive
Home 5 to Shop:
- Ditch needs to be cut in at spruce
- NOTE: TELEPHONE LINE IN THIS AREA!
- Culvert at North end of shop needs to be extended
Shop to PC3:
- Spur road needs a small culvert at parking area to carry water
from downspouts of house
MH II to PC6:
- Compaction has allowed roadbed to be below grade
- Bring stone in, re-crown, and top dress
- At Sam's Y, ditch needs cut in to allow water into existing
drop box
- PC6 stable, pipe for downspout is blocked creating erosion
across the drive in front of stable
2
EFTA01118224
PC6 to BRB:
- Original culvert at stone drop box - outlet is below grade
- Cut in apron to allow water to flow through
- Next culvert (in bottom) needs extended
- Y at BRB could benefit with an added culvert and drop box
BRB to Cabin:
- Clean all culverts
- Going down hill toward cabin - road is below grade
- Raise roadbed with stone
- Re-crown
- Ensure cut outs are in to enable water to get off road
- Bridge - needs replaced
- Dig footers 10' from existing bridge
- This will allow work to be done without
disturbing creek
- This will allow road bed to be raised increasing
the throat to carry a greater water flow
- Construction could be:
- Concrete
- Steel I beam and planking (oak or locust)
- NOTE: UNDERGROUND UTILITIES IN THIS AREA!
- 12" culvert South of cabin
- Needs extended or create a swell to creek for proper
drainage
- Road below cabin toward Tim's bridge is below grade
- Could perhaps use some of the stone from fields, then
smaller stone on these to raise road
From PC3 & 4 to T: (going to greenhouse or office)
- Wash boarding - crown, and top dress
T to greenhouse:
- A few pockets of clay, re-grade crown, and top dress
3
EFTA01118225
Home 6:
T in road to office:
- Potholes, re-crown and top dress
- Some clay pockets at gas line and electric gate
- May need additional outlets cut in
Office area:
- Culvert (open top style) could be installed at parking area
- this would help with gravel being washed away
- Repave entire office area
- this is needed to stabilize roadbed on steep grades
at office area
Schoolhouse:
- Parking area needs buffers (timber [?])
- This would prevent vehicle from accidentally drifting
off hill
Home 7:
- Roads are in good condition
Home 8:
- Main drive from state road
- some areas below grade, potholes
- From machine shop toward river
- road bed below grade, needs larger stone put in these areas
followed by smaller stone
- Red Gate straightaway
- this road needs attention; large potholes, road below grade
- raise road bed, crown, and top dress
- need to cut back brush and lower limbs from roadway
- From Red Gate straightaway to pool
- need culvert at wood line before parking area at pool
- ditches cleaned, crowned, top dressed

EFTA01118226
Other roads
Need to keep in mind other roads that are not main arteries. We need
to keep roads in the woods open to facilitate fire fighting equipment etc.
These roads don't need to be `all weather' but they do need to be passable.
Triage
1. Finish all drives at Home x
2. Maintain service entrance at home 3
3. Replace cabin bridge
4. Maintain other farm main roads
Notes
* Ensure we are using correct material on drives
Please use this report in conjunction with the one from February 10, 2010.

We recently completed painting xxx bedroom, Bag room and third floor. On
the third floor we replaced the T&G oak ceiling with mold resistant drywall,
relocated and replaced the HCAC supply duct away from the bank of
sliding glass doors and insulated the ceiling with recycled blue jean
insulation.
I have contacted Total Shading Solutions to schedule installation.
xxx mentioned that she may install Flor Carpet tiles.
The circle pool in the back yard has been disconnected from the basement
of the house. We have run new gas, electric and water lines to the pool
from the vault room. The vault room also has the other pool equipment,
storage area and full bath. The pool has been leaking and the pool decking
(flag stone) has become damaged from near by tree roots. There are two
options for the pool. Option one to restore back to a pool or Option two is to
make it a fountain or a combination of both.
The large pool has a trough style skimmer that for some reason years ago
was disconnected. Continental Pools has looked into this issue the
summer. The conclusion was that the lines were terminating under ground.
Another issue is that the gahnite pool liner will need a new finish applied
soon. The plans were to do both pools at the same time.
There is a large Paulownia tree growing next to the rear of the house. It
towers above the third floor. One of the branches hits the corner of the
house causing gutter damage. The root system is beginning to compromise
the foundation. The tree has also crushed the underground gutter drain.
This has caused drainage issues at the green house exterior door. We
have tried several fixes, but during hard and extended rains the water
backs up and floods the green house floor.
Pool House
The pool house is a traditional Japanese Tea House that connected two
existing round changing room. The house is built over the existing stone
arched retaining wall that connected the two round changing rooms. One of
the round rooms houses the kitchen and the other the bathroom.
We are experiencing several problems with this structure.
EFTA01118230
1. The Japanese Tea House was built with the structural pine poles buried
into the soil, much like a pole barn. These have begun to rot at the ground
contact.
2. We have a mouse problem. There is a space between the sub-floor and
the kitchen walls under the cabinets. We feel that this is the problem area.
3. Powdery dust has begun to fall from the pine beams in the bedroom and
dining area. A pest control company is checking this out on Friday
December 17th.

The exterior needs painting and the shutters replaced. The metal roof
needs painting.

Due to the environment we do yearly painting maintenance on the exterior,
seal the tile second floor porches and maintain the cedar shakes and roof
heat tape.
We have budgeted window, window screens and door screens repairs.
Also the basement interior brick wall needs some attention.
The dryer is vented into the attic space. We will schedule this to be moved
to exhaust out an eave.
The large cottonwood trees that line the streets are inspected, trimmed if
needed, fertilized and sprayed to control insects.

We need to install the security system.
We need to install the water treatment system. The water has been testing
high iron. We have been changing out rusty galvanized pipes in the well pit
and tub spout nipples. We recently inspected the two hand held wands and
discovered rusty water. They had not shown any signs of this until last
week. The iron issue has given us false iron readings over the last year and
a half. We needed a consistent water reading to recommend the correct
system.
The brick sidewalks installation continues. If weather permits the sidewalks
are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. We will need a
decision on where the sidewalk that connects the service driveway is
located.
The circle driveway and the new road require river rock. The driveway will
have the stone spread only in the tire path and the rest planted in grass.
Items in next year budget
1 Second phase of landscaping
2. Installation of a generator
3. Installation of an operational gate at the new driveway entrance.
4. Installation of an operational gate at the service entrance.
General contractor issues unresolved
1. Geothermal air locked causing banging. Scheduled before Christmas.
2. South porch is leaking against house and at ledger.
3. Gutter on back oldest addition has no end cap (chalked against
stucco) and down spout empties on roof. These two issues have
cause interior drywall damage.
4. Front upper corner of house at addition stays wet.
5. South upper deck French doors are leaking at bottom weather

Water sources: wells, springs and creeks.
Holding water: ponds and tanks
(See attached map)
Pond #1: pumping pond fed from Coates Creek. This water is pumped via
diesel 35 HP pump to the holding pond (well pond) beside the domestic
wells. This water is gravity fed to irrigate around the Upper House (HUH),
cabin and barn.
Pond #2: pond that needs the sediment cleaned out. This pond was
cleaned out three times since the last fire in 1995 due to no vegetation. The
pond requires an additional cleaning to remove sediment. This pond is fed
by Spring Creek and flows into pond #1.
Pond #3: well pond feds houses irrigation system.
Pond #4: Heart Shape pond fed by Spring Creek.
Pond #5: Northern Reservoir fed from Raymond's Dam that is fed from a
spring located on Utah State Land. We have this water right as well as a
right of way to the spring.
EFTA01118234
Pond #6: Cabin pond is spring fed and flows into Spring Creek between the
heart shape pond and Pond #2.
There are two tanks located near the Northern Reservoir, 6000 and 8000
gallon tanks. These tanks are filled from the Raymond's Dam.
The water is used to irrigate around the HUH. The tanks are located on
Federal Land. The overflow water goes into the old irrigation system that
feeds back to the well pond.
There are two domestic wells. The new well is 217 feet deep and produces
3.5 gallons per minute. The old well is 40 feet deep and produces 5 gallons
per minute. There is a 600 gallon fiberglass tank that holds the domestic
water for the HUH, cabin and barn.
There is an old well next to the cabin that could be utilized for irrigation
water.
We have four fields identified for irrigation.
Field #1is 17.3 acres; water right from Spring Creek, irrigation system could
be a wheel line.
Field #2 is 4.4 acres; water right from Spring Creek, irrigation system could
be cannon or hand lines.
Field #3 is10.4 acres; water right from Spring Creek, irrigation system could
be flooding.
Field #4 is 9.9 acres: water right Coates Creek, irrigation system is hand
line. The risers will need to be replaced to get this operational.
The water right for Spring Creek is nearing completion.
The power line that feeds the ranch begins near Humphrey's spring. That is
were the electrical meter is located. The line is above ground for about one
mile an under ground about a half a mile. The above ground line and poles
were damaged during the 1995 fire.
The HUH was partially demolished and the wood reclaimed for the barn
construction. We have cleaned up the inside of the house and this winter
will remove any salvageable cabinet, door, window etc. No decision has
been made as for the fate of the remaining structure.

The cabin is in fair condition. There was some discussion of relocating the
cabin. We would remodel the structure, replacing the addition and adding a
mouse proof basement.

Status of xxxxx Farm
The primary goal for xxxxx Farm is to manage all
available land resources to create a balance among
eco- systems protection, wildlife enhancement,
sustainable organic agricultural production, and
financial considerations.
Our vision for the agriculture for the farm that was
developed nearly a decade ago was and is to improve
the soils organically. We started out fairly simple.
We harvested and marketed organically grown hay.
We will continue to improve the quality of hay. The
farm is dominated by a Fescue grass. Fescue grass is
a great grass for grazing and for hay-making;
however it is the least desirable hay. In the fields that
are not suitable for cultivating we can improve these
fields by over seeding in late winter with clover.
Clover not only improves the soil by fixating
nitrogen but also improves the protein level of the
hay. In the fields that are suitable for cultivating we
could plant more desirable grasses for hay like
orchard, timothy or alfalfa. To do this we have
purchased a vertical tillage machine that does not
disturb the surface of the soil and seeding will be
done with a drill seeder. We will look into more cost
effective ways to add nutrients to the soil, as chicken
litter is costly to the bottom line.

Successes for 2011
➢ 400 acres of river bottom, fallow and land used
in the production of corn last year was
successfully seeds for new hay fields. Some of
the fallow and river bottom-land had been bare
for two years of a cover crop.
➢ Developed a relationship with the Virginia
Working Landscapes of the Smithsonian
Institute to study and implement a plan for warm
season grasses to build up the Bumble Bee and
native bird population.
➢ Building a team instead of individuals fighting
each other at xxxx farm — In the past everyone at
the farm worked by themselves — today we work
as a team and everyone is in agreement that we
can accomplish more.
➢ Upgrading of Farm equipment and the way we
maintain and use each piece of equipment
➢ Hired a full time excavator and farm person —
Dale. (in the past Dale was hired out to Hay,
brush hog and excavate and billings were $125
to $180K per year — substantial savings)
➢ Ashire Farm is looking to double the amount of
hay we provided them last year for their organic
beef operation. They are looking for 1,500 tons
2
EFTA01118238
with an option of 500 additional tons of Organic
Hay. To do this we are Haying many of the areas
that were brush hogged in the past and owner has
purchased equipment to allow us to reclaim
rocky fields, remove stumps and level off uneven
ground. (this will allow for less equipment
damage and production while haying)
➢ Hired full time carpenter/maintenance person to
help Jody with the 70 plus buildings at xxx Farm
➢ Replace property manager on xxx with Todd
Burns.
Challenges for 2011
➢ Keeping everyone focused on the future — not the
past
➢ Finding good part time help for the hay operation
so we can produce the hay while the weather is
good.
➢ Filing system both at Farm and xxx — working
on this at the present. More of a winter time job
due to haying operation and other...
➢ Communication between staff — working on this
at present
3
EFTA01118239
➢ Set up a farm committee — Consists of
Stonebridge employees ( Rex, Dave, Steve,
Rolland and myself) outside vendors and farm
consultant Charlie Thornton to review our
farming practices and ways to improve on
quality, production and profitability. Later
abandoned due to no interest from a few. Dave
and Leighton continued to meet and occasionally
Rex.
➢ Developed punch lists for each project with time
lines and delegated responsibilities to those
responsible for projects
➢ New regulations for Chicken litter storage —we
may need to erect a building in the near future
for storage — researching
2011 — We are updating equipment (vehicles and
equipment that has either worn out or neglected)
