Our House

we've been asked what are current digs look like and so here's a few pic's of our humble abode. it's a green farmhouse, in desperate need of a scrape and paint job with a nice front porch that we use for a variety of things (slightly white trashish, but we have no shed or garage to house yard needs). we have a huge front yard with no fence and a sideyard that heads back and back...there is a little backyard but that's where don drives his tractor or frontloader or backhoe or other large digging vehicles and where there is a well, and where the snakes used to habitate (we haven't seen any live ones for several weeks, maybe good news?)there is a full basement which we use most of for a playroom, a bit of storage, a very good sized laundry area and a bar, where glenn sets up "shop". the main floor consists of a front room which is divided into 2 unequal parts by a slight arch wall, the bigger side is the dining room and the smaller side houses the tv and couch. walk through the front room to the good sized kitchen and continue on to a fork in the hall, well a 3-pronged something. on the left is the office/craft/dump spot, straight ahead is the ONE AND ONLY BATHROOM, and to the right are stairs. up we go, and come to a nice landing where there is a large linen and game closet, and a book shelf and the attic entry. here is another 3-pronged set-up. to the left is door #1 our bedroom,to the right #2 is haven, #3 is caleb/ciela. continue on through caleb/ciela room to a new door-and toran's loft space, which brings us to yet another door and a new entry to our bedroom. that's right folks, our house is one eternal round of bedrooms! the attic is big and currently half for storage with plans to turn the other half into a bedroom for toran and shuffle the kids around so everyone has their own space. we have lots of trees on or property and flower beds in need of attention, which i just started tackling, and which will take all summer and probably into the next summer before they are functioning properly. behind our house is the garage that we can't use, a huge shop, and a shed (again, not for our use), a small creek and then a beautiful park. thanks for the tour, come back again!
