we bought a little house and we're ready to make it our new home. Follow us as we plan, prepare and attack this renovation.

Here we go!

The house is OURS!

Friday, September 30th we took possession of the house and went straight to work!  Well, first we had dinner in our new house!  The kids had lemonade in fancy glasses ;)  and we picnic'd on the floor since there's no furniture there yet.


Then, we went to work:
He couldn't wait to see what was hiding
apparently what we found inside(nothing) is a good thing! Easy to frame and insulate

 Saturday...work day!
Cousins Emily and Silvia came over and kept Jakob and Hannah entertained so I could attack the attic and Marcus and Eric tackled the barn.  What a dirty nasty project!  I easily did 100+ trips up and down two flights of stairs filling a large garbage bin, the front porch and sorted and stored unique finds we're keeping.



that's just barn waste.... raccoon poop, bird poop, chicken poop...you get the idea!  Oh and wood and leaves too!    



We got a lot done today, but sadly not as much as we thought before starting.  We obviously saw past some stuff when we were walking through and planning and dreaming.... boy did we not see the crap for the potential beauty!
