Good dog, Riley.

We are proud of our work and this now beautiful little house.
It's finished and listed on Zillow for rent.
We hope that whoever moves in will love it too.






















I made a book to keep the memories of our adventure in fixer upper-ing.  Click HERE if you want to have a look. (There's a "preview" button. Click that then you can just flip through the pages. It has a sale price. I don't really mean it for sale.  I just had to have that so that I could share it on line.)

A finishing touches...

Yes, we finished our fixer upper.
Yes, it took 205 days and 800+ hours of work
Yes, we had a good time with it, worked hard, and learned so much.

The path is well worn from our front door, across the yard, through the strip of woods, and up to our project. We are ready for a rest and for someone to move into it.

I'll post The Big Reveal next. 
For now, her are some photos from our final few weeks.
