BREAKING NEWS - - - - THE OUT HOUSE WORKS!!

Details Concerning House

We think that the original log house was built circa 1790-1820, we do not have exact dates BUT this house has all the tale tale signs of a house built prior to 1820.

Our goal is to restore the original structure and sadly the newer section of the house built in 1898 must be tore down..... but we plan on rebuilding that section back as a timber framed kitchen and laundry room/bathroom also it will have 2 bedrooms upstairs.

So our house will be a 3 bed, 2 bath restored log home w/ a timber-framed kitchen! We are so excited! We will continue to post more as we go along!

This is the LARGE mantle!!!!!

CONTRACT SIGNED ON HOUSE!!!!

As of March 12 we officially have signed a contract on the house and 6.27 acres that adjoin our 6 acres and barn! That will give us a total of 12.27 acres! The closing date is set for May 1 2008. We have already began cleaning up the property, whether or not this is wise.....who knows, but we just can not help ourselves.

There is just so much to be done on the property and with the barn still needing jacked up and also now we have the house to restore the sooner we get started cleaning up the place the better chance we have getting everything else done!!! We will keep adding pictures as we clean up and do restoration!

Harmon's Den - 3-1-08

Charlene, Missy, Kate and I ventured out and about and ended up 7 miles across the state line on Saturday at Harmon's Den in North Carolina....what a great ride, I highly recommend it, but please get a map! You could easily get lost if you didn't know the trails.

I can't wait to go back...the view is breath taking, especially with 6" of SNOW! I will try and post more pics when my connection is better for some reason my images do not want to upload!
