It may not look like much now, but this is the beginning of my new kitchen and pantry! The cabinets have been ordered and we are on our way finally. This was supposed to be done before we even moved in last year, but better late than never!

A New Beginning

Hi everyone! Here are a couple pictures of the "new" house. They are both shot from the side. Basically, the back addition (to the left in the bottom photo) is not livable space , and may be that way for a few years yet I am afraid! The upper part of it is mainly storage. The lower section still has a dirt floor and the original inside two-seater "outhouse" (non-functional of course--though I am thinking it may make a great sauna when we renovate!) The main house has a two-story porch with a balcony off our bedroom. Our first priority before winter is to get new windows installed. Hopefully next summer we can get it either painted or sided. I think we have our work cut out for us for awhile. In the front of the bottom photo is part of our driveway--it goes all the way around the house--and the main road is in front of the house (to the right of the photo). I may add some interior shots as we get more settled--right now it is pretty messy! We are still working on painting and wallpapering, and tearing out some walls. It is definitely a work in progress.
