Our New Home
Here is Richard's shot of the new house on Poplar Road the first time he saw it. We bought it less than a week later, on Friday, September 3rd - although to date the subjects haven't yet been removed and a possession date has not been set. It doesn't look like "us" at the moment, but it has all the main features we were looking for in the past two years that we've been house-hunting. I wanted space for my own office - I will be working from home on various projects - a garden with fruit trees, and a "great room" for entertaining. Richard wanted a shop or something that could be transformed into one, enough land to play with the 4x4 and have friends camp out on long weekends, and a spacious kitchen for his other passion, cooking. This property has it all, with more space than we'd dreamed of in the house. Just needs a little elbow grease is all. I will do a bunch of "before" and "after" photos as we move in and begin the renovations at the end of October.

Wow, this looks great! Congratulations on joining the "blogworld" - I think it will be a natural for you with your professional writing skills (and your enviable fast typing). I look forward to "watching" the home project unfold. Good luck to you both!
