MY HOME


house
Here is my home prior to renovations that were done in the summer of 1996. The entire side of the house (left side of photo)where there is only one story was removed and rebuilt with a second story. The house was originally built in 1888 with significant remodeling done in 1990.


Here is E.J. one a trip down the old hay ramp in our back yard. As this was a working farm there was a barn foundation and hay ramp remaining in the back yard. The house and farm was abandoned for most of the 1980's and the barn collapsed. What we did not know when we bought the house was that the previous owners merely pushed the wrecked barn over to the side of our property, covered it with dirt and left the items seen in this photo. We purchased the house in July so there was hay covering most of the mess!

Here is a photo of E.J. with a family friend digging a hole to bury that whole mess. Although E.J. was only 2 years old he still remembers this day. Now the yard is all cleared up and the deer graze there almost daily.






Spring 1997. Dad gets to build the boys a sandbox!! I had so much help it only took me about 1 1/2 hours longer than projected. The boys now have a swing set and sand box with all that yard to play in!!
