House Pics

Hello everyone,

I know it's been awhile. I even had to change our password because I couldn't remember the old one haha. I will blame it on pregtimers (alzheimers for pregnant folk). Anyway, here are a few shots of our house from the outside.

This is of course the front of the house.

Here is another front view.

This is a detached garage and workshop that sits just off the road and then to the left of the attached garage. The picture is taken facing the road. This is Pete's getaway spot. There is another out building that was once used for raising beagles, but I didn't include a picture. It sits on the other side of the horseshoe driveway.

This is the backside of the house and garage. You really can't see the back deck, but it's there. There is lots of potential with this house.

This is a picture of the backyard and the dog's huge kennel in the back. They seem to enjoy it.


Now, we finally are able to show you some of the inside. Not every room, but at least the living room, kitchen, front room/porch/foyer whatever you want to call it, and baby's room.

We had a problem in the front room with bats getting in, but Pete fixed that, so now we can leave it open for the cats. They love to sit in the windows and watch birds and such outside.

The living room is finally looking like a living room. It was filled with boxes, but Pete cleared them out. We finally have pictures on the wall too.

The kitchen is small but functional most of the time. The only problem we have currently is if we need something out of the drawer next to the stove, we have to open the stove and then the drawer. Silly me, didn't measure the depth of the stove when I bought it, and I don't want to crack the gas line behind. But, eventually we will remodel and it won't be a problem. Oh, see the fridge and dishwasher? Those are new too hehe. The fridge that was here was rusted to the old stove, yes rusted too it. Apparently no one knew that air needs to flow around the stove. The old dishwasher didn't seem to work, or was just corroded with old soap and was disgusting. The new one works wonderfully and quietly.

Now, this is the baby's room. Jackie loves this room. I often catch her in the rocking chair, but not today.

This is the stenciling I am doing on the wall. I only have a little bit to go on this wall, and then will do some on each side of the window and behind the door by the closet.

This is all the stuff we got from the baby shower July 1. It was such a wonderful time and was great to see so many people I haven't seen in a long time. There are also bags of stuff I found at garage sales, but no where to put it all yet. I am waiting to get the stenciling done. The crib is together but I didn't get a chance to add it this time.

Enjoy and we shall enter more soon. Take care.
