Pictures of the house

Many of you have been wanting to see pictures of the house. I have finally had time to take some pictures, so here they are.....



As you can see it is a cute, cozy rock house. There are lots of huge oak trees providing lots of shade and lots of leaves and acorns. The house was built in 1932. It has 2 layers of rock, plaster walls, and we added insulation and sheetrock on top. It is very well insulated. To the right is a newly built carport and a store room for me. The store room is about 10ft X 30ft, which is nice, but this is Tim's store room.......



A 60 ft X 75 ft Barn. I don't care what people say, a woman has less junk than a man. Or at least this woman does. The silo in the background was built in the late 1890's. I have heard many people tell me that it is a historical landmark. And to think Butch wanted to tear it down until we all convinced him otherwise. We have turned it into the feed barn, so maybe all the mice will stay far away from me and my house.

This is my cute fall decorative front porch.



This is what you see when you walk in the front door, a beautiful fireplace.


The other day we had our first fire and the kids loved it. We also discovered that it works GREAT and heated the house so much that we almost had to open the windows to cool off.

Our TV is on the wall opposite the fireplace.



As you can see the living room, dining room, and kitchen are all one big room with lots of wood floor. I like the floor, but I have to sweep it at least once a day.



As you look down the hallway, the double doors on the right is the laundry room. Kaegen's room is the first door on the left and Kreek's room is the last door on the left. At the end of the hall is the kid's bathroom and the last door on the right is the master bedroom.

This is Princess Kaegen's room.......




This is Kreek's room................


This is the kid's bathroom..........





Here is our master bedroom, it is not that big, but it works for us.



Belive it or not, the part where the desk is use to be the closet and a bathroom. In the old bathroom you could sit on the toilet, brush your teeth and take a shower at the same time. I am not lying. So we made that part of the bedroom and added a seperate bath and closet. The part that is now the laundry room, master closet and master bath use to be a second living area and we decided that this is better use of the space.There was not enough room for a bathtub, so we have a huge 4 ft X 4 ft shower. It is very nice. The glass double doors in the bathroom is where the closet is.

And this is the master bath.





I can not wait until this spring and I can work in the yard. We have big plans of adding a sprinkler system, flower beds, and green grass. It will be alot of work, but it will be worth it.
