O.K. so here I am. This should give some one a fair idea of what I’m doing. I bought this place on a whim figuring to flip it. The more I gutted the place, the more I liked the property. The house was a peice of junk and would have been better set on fire. But, I decided to save alttile money and rebuild it.
It started out as a barn or something. The earliest remnant I found when gutting it happened to be a newspaper corner with the date of something like 1896.
I did this myself with occasional help from my brother and a neighbor. Mostly on the upper floor and roof system. Even at that, I pre-cut all the roof system peices on the ground. I just needed help setting it all in place.
The floor plan is completely different than it was. It decided not to post any original interiors. Though, they would turn just about anybody away from even thinking about having bought this place. I wouldn’t want anybody to think I was on drugs or something.
This spring is going to be another push for siding, second bath, cabinetry, flooring, and millwork.

Original back.

Now that is a project Cat. What made the place so special to you? Did it include some land too? If so, then you have room for a nice shop.

To answer your questions Bill….
Answer #1

23 acres including the woods and meadow. Being on top of a hill makes for a long view.
Answer #3 We think alike…it’s alot farther along than this now.

Nice layout and pictures. Now I see why you wanted it. Maybe I should move to the midwest.
