enjoy our new gardens

For all of our friends and family, who are so full of questions about how we are doing?
I am so sorry I have been so slow on updates, we have worked hard and made great progress
and I have just NOT been out in "computer land" much. I am updating it all now!!

Our Space for all of
our creatures

meet the newest additions to our bird flock
and see the
three new Italian Greyhounds

that have joined our family

as well as all our other animal friends

The new deck
We sort of had a hard time deciding
where it was to be but once we
decided we built a lovely useful space.

deck pictures

We are now converting the garage
into a large bedroom and

Outside
There was NO way to even
begin to imagine how much
trash and junk that we would
find under the snow & grass!!!
(the garage should have
been a clue)

Since we had known the
people who lived in the house,
we just simply had no idea
that the mess would be so
huge and so deep and so tall.

outside pictures

Our Gardens

Then . . . .




The bedrooms
The original house had two.
We had planned to add an addition
to the north side with
3 more rooms but when the
roof over the large bedroom
was determined to need to
be replaced and the seller is
not able to shoulder the repairs
he had agreed too we had to shift plans.

and now . . . .
Then . . . .


The kitchen
This room saw the most change!
We still need to finish counter tops
and put up a "tin ceiling" .

The old kitchen was split in
two sections by a wall
of cabinets and a doorway.
So you looked through a
window over the sink into
the other section of the room.

see all the kitchen pictures
and now . . . .


Then . . . .


The bathroom
The original bathroom was
small and had a window
that looked into the garage.

The hall was added to the
bathroom and a laundry area
set up.

and now . . . .
Then . . . .



The livingroom
Mostly in need of a facelift.
The original room had carpet which
was pulled out to reveal hardwood
floors.

Still needs the floors re-done,
trim finished and a tin ceiling.

living room pictures

The room of
requirement

Was the "dining room"
will be our office/libaray.

See all the pictures of the
room of requirement

We took space from this room
to build a closet for Abby's room.

This room just contines to pretty
much do as "required"

and now . . . .
