I'm delighted that you recognized it. There are a few other things planted there which I may not know.<br /><br />To All: This is a "stick built" house although very simple in style--J. would have to be very desparate for a roof over our heads to have a manufactured home.<br />We have down-sized in square footage and style/type of home but rather expected that as a retirement plan. The lovely areage more than makes up for the simpler cottage type house.<br />We have been to the local building emporium gathering ideas for renovating the kitchen and replacing all the appliances. <br />There are possibilities for expanding the house, but we'll see if that becomes advisable or necessary.<br />We are just excited to get the final move under way and be all together with horse and cats in one place.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-65783519066581497052010-03-05T16:27:28.477-05:002010-03-05T16:27:28.477-05:00I think the cats and Pebbles, and you and J, can b...I think the cats and Pebbles, and you and J, can be quite happy there! The land seems like it has lots of potential for more building, more trees, more garden, whatever you want... Because of its straightforward shape, the house has lots of possibilities if you ever want to expand it (is it a manufactured home, do you think?). I see it's got a decent looking chimney, a leaning antenna plus a satellite dish, a walk out basement (is it a full basement? any windows? any access from indoors?), maybe a tiny heat pump?...nice touches in the plantings, including that big nandina bush in the front. I've got porch envy...and land envy too!quiltcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957819126177446578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-73635746464504067082010-03-05T15:17:31.036-05:002010-03-05T15:17:31.036-05:00I am so pleased you have found it and it fels righ...I am so pleased you have found it and it fels right for you both ...it was very quick.<br />I bet J is itching to start doing stuff ASAP <br />What will you so with the barns?Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-21221429791417136292010-03-05T14:52:29.663-05:002010-03-05T14:52:29.663-05:00That looks just right MM!

I am intrigued by the porch which is all roof - do you think you will extend the building under that?
