New House

Hey everyone, here are some pictures of our "new" house that we're living in. Part of the house was built in the 1850's, then the rest of it was built around the 1870's. It's 3 floors, 8 rooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and a kitchen. It's pretty sweet. Colleen and I have two rooms that connect on the first floor, so we have a bedroom and our own private living room area. Our friend and "landlady" that we're living with teaches in Brooklyn for most of the week, so we pretty much have the run of the place. We're going to help her do some work on the house, our first project is helping her get one of the bathrooms ready to get the rest of the stuff installed in it. We'll be knocking a wall down to make room for a washer and dryer, and we're going to sand the floor to get that ready for some new tile to be laid. We're really excited. There's 26 acres for us to play on, plus a pond that will hopefully provide some swimming fun once it gets warm again. That's about it for now.


This is the front of the house from across the road. Some of the windows were being replaced today so didn't want to take too many photos of the front of the house just in case you all thought I was living in a house with no windows in part of it. So, as soon as the windows are done, I'll take a couple more pictures of the front.
Here's the back of the house from in front of the pond.
This is from a little ways up the hill behind the house. You can see part of the pond through the trees in the photo.
This one is looking from one edge of the pond towards the back of the house.
