This Old House

Our journey begins with one old house and a lot of ambition...

Restricted Access


We felt horribly self conscious after Timmy commented about our Americans with Disabilities Act conforming front patio and antiquated/crude home cooling system, so look…they’re gone! We actually removed the air conditioner to seal up the window for the winter months and because we were fortunate enough to have found the window that originally belonged in that space. The light the window provides is invaluable to us now. The front porch was a blast to deconstruct. It may not have made us any progress on our required improvements so that we may get refinanced using conventional methods by September 2009, but we toiled with joy and still (a couple of weeks later) smile at our handiwork. On the same day, we cleared out some of the beds, pruned the bush and planted a few bulbs. The next day we removed most of the nails from the ensuing heap of rubble and organized all of our scrap wood. We can’t wait until we get to work on the yard in earnest.
