A First Look

In case you haven't heard we bought a house. After pulling in Wednesday afternoon we were eager to go and take a peek. We immediately fell in love with the amount of land that we have and all the buildings that we own. We were a bit taken back by the amount of work that needs to be done but at the same time are eager to get started and make it our own. We have decided to start this additional blog to keep everyone updated on our progress. It will also serve for a place for us to share our before and after pictures and keep record of our experience.

So here are a few of the initial picture we saw. These were all taken by my dad and they are what we based our decision on. These and of course the opinions and advise of many others.

This is a picture of the main house taken from the garage. The house is on the right and the guest house is on the left.

When you come to visit us this will be where you get to stay. This is the guest house. Hopefully this winter we will be remodeling this and it will be ready next spring .

This is the 3 car garage taken from the back door of the house. Guess we will have to buy a few vehicles to fill it (or we will just keep all our junk in there)

This is behind the garage. It is the future site of the garden!

Now for the inside...
This is the living room and the fireplace taken from the picture window.

This is the picture windows taken from the fireplace.

This is the dining room taken from one end. The built-in you see is mirrored on the other side.

This is the master bedroom taken from the door.
The open door is a walk in closet.

This is the boys room (obviously before a girls). It is upstairs and has a huge double walk through closet.This is the kitchen. We are talking about redoing the whole thing but will see how the budget holds out.
This is the main bathroom. We will be totally gutting this and actually moving it across the hallway.

So there it is. We have already started and have gotten a ton of stuff done. We will start posting before and during pictures as the remodel happens. Anytime you want to help out give us a call. We are always looking for the help!

Happy Remodeling!

Can't wait to see pics as you go.  Good idea for the new blog.  We are looking forward to seeing the house in person in a few months!  (thanksgiving, possibly, but for sure in February).

Wow - what a cool place this will be for the boys - lots of space for running and playing.
