i've been playing around with Google Earth today (isn't it the best!) and wanted to show you the images. it might give a good idea about why this part of the farm is so appealing to me. the whole farm (extremely rough doodle- obviously we don't own half a church) the "main" section of the...

my friend who i lovingly call Handy Danny came by today. he's an electrician, plumber, general handyman. he's very creative in use of materials and really gets what i try to do- he did the majority of the work on my crazy mobile chicken house! he was in that house about a year and a half ago...

how would you classify the style of this? it has a bit of a craftsman feel, but i guess it would ultimately just be a cottage/bungalow? my color choices would range from to with trim in a nice light gray like this or something like this with a grayish cream trim.

i love Alex's practical nature and his personality is very pleasant. but... oh Peter makes my heart piterpater. kind of oafish and mischievous but always gets what needs to be done done, and with pride. and he's seriously dreamy to look at. *swoon* this was all it took to win me over but this...

i will arm wrestle you for him. just the other day i posted on FB how he might possibly be the man of my dreams! i LOVE Hugh! did you see his River Cottage series about "free-range" chicken? it was great. the version of "free-range" that he was using wasn't what i would use (or like to see...

i would love to turn the porch into a sunroom/entryway but i think that would probably cost more than i would want to put into it. leaving the beams exposed was my immediate instinct. they are so pretty. but, like SKR8PN said, it would HAVE to be insulated. so, if the room has to be replaced...

yeah, that's what i was thinking. the tank in my well house is pretty big and that one just seemed to have a little tank not much bigger than a football.

seriously. that porch will be SPECTACULAR with the screen replaced. and it faces toward the "barnyard" so i can sit and read and keep and eye on things!

we've got a travel trailer that sleeps 8. i will most likely move it over there if this is a go, just as soon as i figure out the water situation (the pump house is perfect and most of the pump is there, but SOMETHING is missing). you and Gary are more than welcome to come and bunk with me...

isn't it beautiful! i love it. i would move in there in a heartbeat but it's right next to the road and the big barn that we run our horse school out of so it stays pretty busy. and it's WAY too much house for me. my grandparents are renovating it (well, footing the bill while we do the work) to...

it doesn't have a basement, just a crawl space. there is no way i'm getting under there. i'll just wait for my brother to irritate me and make him do it!

i can't really figure the hole in the floor out except to assume that it's got something to do with the addition being not as well done as the original house. the original section LOOKS to be hardwood throughout from what i can see where the linoleum has come up, but it looks like the addition...

good idea! i did see another sink just like the one in the pics when i peeked in the window of the other house! i LOVE those sinks. we do own it (we as in my weird, complicated to explain, extended family trust). it was my great-uncle Elmer's farm which was right next door to my...

the water damage that i noticed was all on the addition. is that what you see or am i missing something i should have noticed? the entrance to that side of the farm got a nice new gate with a nice new lock so it's been keeping people out for about a year now. the house would get a super-duper...

in all honesty, i didn't even notice the tree while i was there. i was more focused on the interior. i noticed it when i looked at the pics and it is a concern that will have to be evaluated. it could be the thing that makes the whole project not worth it or just a tree to get rid of. the...

i'm definitely going to have my uncle, who is a contractor, come look at it and then, if he thinks it's worth it, hire an actual inspector. i def don't want to spend the time/money and get nothing out of it (especially since i can't sell it off...). i'm trying to keep my hopes in check and my...

on the back side of our farm is a nice little "farmlette" that i've had my eye on basically my whole life. about 50 acres, well off the main road, a nice mix of forest and field, and beautifully private (it's cut off from the rest of the farm by about 2 miles of thick forest). we own the land...

X2 blasphemy! plus, you can always sell or donate the ones you already have. ;)

Karen, i'd be happy to pick something up for you when i go. :lol:

i had looked at that store list, but i didn't even realize they were outlets... just figured i'd be paying full price. the one in GA is pretty convenient for whenever i go to Atlanta (which i do about every other month)... i'm in so much trouble and i've never been more excited! 1/2 price dutch...
