Our Home and Other Buildings

This post is mainly pictures showing our place and buildings on the place.  Our place hasn't been kept up in a good 3 years or more, defiantly some fixing to do, but its going to be fun to do!! I'm starting at the back of the place and working my way to the house itself. (I will get inside pictures in another post, slowly getting those pictures taken!)

 The Quonset is going to get a cement floor once it is all aired out and mud free.  This is going to be used by everyone, especially when planting and harvesting comes around.

 Not sure what we are going to do with this shop, tear it down or fix it.  The dog house (behind the shop on the left) is going to be cleaned and fix so it can be by the house for Chena (our dog) to use!

There are 2 of these pens, not sure what they were used for. I think that we are going to take them down.

The chicken coop.  It looks as if it was never finished and got damaged last fall when a 'surprise' snow storm came through. (It was a bad one, almost all the power poles snapped from the blizzard.)

This shop is going to get cleaned and it will be Kevin's shop.  There is electricity to it already.

The corrals  by the barn.  Once we get the well water going, there will be animals here eventually.

The barn.  It too, needs fixing.  All the doors will be replaced and match the new white one and the roof needs repair.  Other wise it is a really nice barn.

Our garage, the right door is half put up.  That is in the plans to get done this spring.  

The side door of the house, (the main door). The screen door broke yesterday, so now we have a self made doggy door. :) It's not going to stay that way, it will get fixed.  The window closest the to door is the kitchen and the big window is the livingroom. The right window upstairs will be craft room/storage room. And the left one is a bedroom. The wild lilac bushes are all going to get taken out and a flower bed will be put in!!

Front of the house. (And Jacqueline!) The bushes here too are going to be taken out.  The porches needs repaired. (Sorry about the mess on the porch, haven't gotten the last of the stuff moved in the house yet)  The flower bed will wrap around and be on both side of the steps (when it gets done, pictures will be posted)

This is the yard, I know its not much to look at right now, almost all the snow is melted and I did see a few green blades of grass walking to the mailbox this morning!! The building in the center, it is an old Church.  Our neighbors daughter would like to get it fix up and get the area kids together and do a vacation Bible school there.

Here is a picture of the Church.  Picture thanks to Anneke.

As things get fixed I will show the results.  I am so excited to start fixing things up!! It is going to be fun!!! Cant wait to get started.
