Getting Somewhere
We are in our second year now of fixing up our farm house. I must say, we actually have accomplished a lot. Although, there is much more to do, we are making good progress.
We are now only going to the farm to work on it every other weekend as the weather is getting colder. My goal was to finish the upstairs floors but that might need to be the first thing we do in spring. They are ready to be finished but the weather might be too cold to varnish.
Next weekend, I hope to put up ceilings in the new downstairs bathroom and another bedroom upstairs. I have to finish mudding the bathroom and Greg has to finish putting down some cement in the shower. Then we will be able to tile. I also want to put up some wallpaper in the upstairs bedroom. So stay tuned for these pics next post.
Time has gotten away from me and this was a draft post that never got published last fall.
Here are some before and after photos of work done so far. The after pics are current and from this spring/summer.

| We finally got to the floors this summer. Most of the the hallway is completely finished now except for the area in front of the stairs. We will do that when the stairs get refinished (putting in a whole new staircase). One more bedroom will be finished when we go up next week. We opted to do carpeting in that room because we ran out of time with renting the sanders. |
 |
| Our new downstairs bathroom created from a room. We love having this shower. It is our sanity after a hard days work. |
 |
| We are using part of the room as a bathroom and the other part as a hallway to the bathroom. |
 |
| The duct work is in place here and so we put up the drywall for the hallway. I hope to finish mudding it next week, then sand it and paint it. We will be putting a door on the back wall to lead to the outside for our hot tub. |
 |
| Painting the barn door for the bathroom. I am currently standing in what will be our living room at some point. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

This is our third year that we have owned this farm and I am still amazed at the beauty of the land as I mow it. I thought I would share some of that beauty with you too.

| Our corn field. |

| Our corn crib, silo and roof top of the house. |
 |
| Some of our mowed paths. |
 |
| The rolling hills that surround the property, and Teddy! |

| Teddy waits for me to catch up. |
