So many things have changed since the last post  a year ago.  I got discouraged because the house that I thought was my dream house didn't work out and then just about the time I was about to give up the search I found this wonderful old farm home.  It needed tons and tons of work and thankfully I have a wonderful son and brother that helped make this dream come true.  It has been a wonderful, crazy and at times exhausting adventure. And it is an adventure that I am sure will continue for many more years! I will try to do a better job of keeping you posted.

My back yard!!!  How crazy is that?

WHo would think that this very large and durable looking board would be easily penetrated by a screw driver!!!  THis board is eaten out by some kind of beetle and it is the only board that they ate, of coarse it is one of the weight bearing beams.  Oh well what are you going to do.

My $20 cuckoo clock works and evidently I got a great deal.  The clock master said that this was one of the last clocks that they painted and carved the bids.  Also the carving is much more intricate than what is done now.  I still have to put the top piece on but isn't she great?  And I only paid $60 to have her cleaned and restored.  Yahoo!
