The "Other House" -- Outside

We're heading off to visit family this weekend and I won't be around for a while. I'm going to try setting up some posts to show up occasionally while I'm gone, so there will still be something for you to see if you check my blog. However, I probably won't be on much so you'll have to wait until I'm back to learn about my travels.

I believe most of you know about the other house. If not, here is the brief story. Ray was going crazy because he didn't have a project to spend all his spare time on. So we bought a house that needed some serious work. Ten months later it is a whole different place.

This is the first installment of pictures. (Some of these may look familiar if you recall our Christmas letter.) On the left is how it looked when we bought it. On the right is how it looks now.
Front:
New siding, new windows, added the rock on the front.

Back:
Ray tore out most of the back section of the house and re-built the walls.

It looks good! That's an ambitious project! So now will you sell it, or keep it?

Wow!! I am impressed. It looks really nice. Sounds like a good investment too.

We hope to sell it. If that doesn't work, we'll rent it. The market is still pretty good here, so I doubt we'll have much trouble selling.
