EXTREME YARD MAKEOVER
Here's the Living Room, paint, trim and who knows what else:
Pardon the Christmas Tree
London's temporary room (until we rewire her new room). We just painted in here. It was SUNSHINE YELLOW! The hole in the wall you see is from the hot water radiant heater that is out of commision. We are going to paint the cover and reinstall it. I kinda like the way they look around the house...vintage.
Master bathroom. Ricky did a good job remodeling this. Just needs a little bit of color.
Master bedroom. Paint and trim primarily.
The view from London's new room (once rewired) down through her hallway. The Office will be on the left just exiting this door. This room needs new electrical, new ceiling, overhead lighting, closet doors, an entry and repainting.
The Office. Painting only and it'll be ready for Crystal to work from home!
Master bedroom, paint and trim.
Hallway looking into London's room, Office on the right. Note the built-ins on the left, the house has them all over the place!
Looking down hallway No. 1 into the master bedroom. Geust bedroom is the first door on the right. Probably laying hardwoods in the halls.
Den
Kitchen
Frank had to explore the cabinets.
They yard. Beyond the trees is one of Papi's fields that he doesn't plant. Maybe London can talk him into Horses (or at least a Donkey).
Gotta get an underground Propane tank!
This driveway is "U" shaped, this is from the 2nd entrance.
Backyard. ALOT of cleaning up to do. The shed that you see is HUGE, and needs to come down. Crystal's Dad has tons of cool old farm stuff in there that we will need to relocate first, though.
Another shed directly ahead that will need to come down eventually.
As you can see, we have our work cut out for us. We plan on taking it slow and methodical, doing things right and not skimping, as we plan on staying here for the "long haul." We are within sight of the Fryars and within walking distance (or golf cart, depending on the weather) of Crystal's work. Not to mention, the land is surrounded by the farm, which will serve as a nice buffer, as well as a place for London to explore, go fishing, birdwatching and even hunting (if her Momma will let her!)
