Moved in and....

[Dave Shepard]

....the real cleaning begins! I'm now living in my grandparents house which had been vacant for four years. Amazing how much stuff there is packed in there. Finding some neat stuff about my grandfathers company, ForestAll, here and there. A lot of photos and paperwork to be dealt with. Going to start putting the stovepipe in the garage tomorrow for the wood stove, it's going to be my new woodworking shop for my personal projects.

I've got a bunch of pics at home the pc.

Congrats on the new digs! How big of a house? How old? is there much land with it? We need details, man!

 

[Dave Shepard]

About four acres contiguous with the farms 166. It's a three bed room Cape built by my grandfather in'52. It's got a two car garage which is just big enough to get my small Dutch house frame laid out in, which is convenient as I've got someone that's going to be helping a bit on it for some scribing experience.

Good luck with getting things in order. is it a working farm with the land leased out? Plenty of room it would seem. You could start a timber frame school.

Enjoy your new home Dave.

The house as it looked when I took over. I've got a lot of work to do to get the yard back in shape.



The garage is 24'x28', with a porch on the left that faces out the back. Fortunately the garage is insulated and most of the sheetrock is done. Right after I took this I scraped the grass off the driveway so it doesn't look too bad now.



Looking to the North. This is about half of the field. The property line goes into the woods a ways on each side, and there is a nice waterfall in there that would make a nice micro-hydro site.

Sweet digs.

Very nice Dave... Once you get it how you want it (if there ever is such a thing ) it should be very comfy.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It looks real nice...plenty of room.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That looks like a GREAT PLACE, Dave!!! I'm green with envy!

Thanks everyone. It's been a long time coming.

I'm still in the same town just moved to a different part of the family farm.
