The Downsizing:

The Downsizing: Follow our adventure as we prepare to send one child to college, the other to kindergarten and attempt to renovate a tiny, circa 1950 farmhouse of just under 1200 s.f. The house has been sitting vacant for several years following a past renovation attempt that went awry by a previous owner. Our goal is to accomodate an active family of 4 (plus Mulligan the Westie) in a much smaller (yet stylish) space which will hopefully free up more of our time and financial resources. In addition to renovating the house and half acre of land, we'll be doing some serious editing of our possessions since we're coming from a home twice the size. The property borders an up and coming development featuring new homes along with a town center, shopping, and schools all set in a rural farm village setting.

We're In!

It's been a bit crazy... we've been in for about 2 weeks now but have been living in an active construction zone- so we've been moving in in stages.  My internet access and space to work have been limited so I'm a bit behind on the blogging.  Meanwhile we've been busy!

Logan signed his National Letter of Intent to play college golf at Butler University on April 13.  Little sister was quite proud.

We celebrated Logan's 19th birthday 2 days later followed by Senior Prom the next day!


A little peek at the kitchen....

The new metal roof and front porch rails going in.  Also under serious construction are the garage and back screened porch and driveway...

Time out to attend Logan's pre-registration at Butler this week.
If it ever stops raining we'll be getting vinyl siding this week and finishing up several other things.  Meanwhile the inside is full of boxes waiting to be unpacked.  More photos to come soon!
