I turned 50
This has been a big year for me. It was one of those ground breaking and moving kind of years. In the back of my mind I kept thinking “say it ain’t so”. But in true fashion it happened, I don’t feel like it is but the calendar does not lie. I turned the bigContinue reading “I turned 50”
Old Houses – Additions
Additions are fun they make what you have even better. So when we took off the crooked icky addition that was on the back of the house just before we lifted it back in our first year a lot of thought went into what we would do back there. As we gutted the top floorsContinue reading “Old Houses – Additions”

Old Houses – Farmhouse Movement (april 4\19)
I’m sure that someone has probably penned this saying ” Farmhouse Movement” but even so I think it’s a good title here. It’s a movement that I think a lot of people are looking for, longing for and maybe even doing a little without realizing it. Its something that doesn’t require living in a farmhouseContinue reading “Old Houses – Farmhouse Movement (april 4\19)”
