This is the photo from our county’s tax data website. We’re estimating it was taken in the Winter of 2000, but we aren’t 100% positive. Since the picture shows the house pretty much how it looked when we moved in, we decided to use it as the first photo in the archive.

Notable changes: New roof on the main part of the main house, new eave troughs on main house, some new paint on the upper parts of the main house, the new picket fence, and the addition of some new flower beds.

Notable changes: Not many major changes visible in this shot. The stacks of bricks were supposed to be for rebuilding the main chimney, but this summer’s weather was uncooperative (too much rain), so the job didn’t even get started.

Notable changes: New siding installed and painted on lower part of the east wall. The stacks of bricks were supposed to be for rebuilding the main chimney last year, but the spring weather was uncooperative (too much rain), so the job didn’t even get started (once again).
