Once, when I was really young we went on vacation to Canada (Ontario and Agua Canyon or something like that). <BR/>When we got home a few weeks later I woke up one day and told my mom that I had a dream that I went to Heaven. Then I added "or maybe it was back to Canada". <BR/>At any rate, your misty yard with all the green and the trees reminded me of that.

Your house sounds alot like mine, always in a state of transition. Seems like we just finish one project and then another rears it's ugly head! So, why do people refer to your house as the "crazy" house anyway? Is there some strange history behind it, or did you mean just because of the decor? <BR/><BR/>LizzyLizzy in the Burbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029788783380416676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243730659427915826.post-62240281897954412872008-01-08T16:57:00.000-08:002008-01-08T16:57:00.000-08:00Could your hubby please teach stuff to my hubby?

I hear ya on the looks pretty but hides a multitude of sins ;-)<BR/><BR/>Heidi - the dining room and kitchen are beside each other so we just removed the wall between them. It wouldn't be my first choice for location but then as stated...not our dream house ;-)<BR/><BR/>Don Diva - Yup yard is great! Also needs a lot of work and that's one area neither of us really have any clue about...I'll think on that much later though...too overwhelming!<BR/><BR/>Kellan - I am not that brave! Go girl! <BR/><BR/>leanne - I threw a little fit..complete with tears and those little quick breaths which led to minor renos before the major one.

Where exactly is the dining table?? Is it in the kitchen or in the room that the wall was taken out from? Regardless, it really does open up the place, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>My husband fancies himself a handy man, but I quake in fear every time he picks up a tool.

Especially since 3 or 4 years out sometimes turns into 7 or 8! <BR/><BR/>We live in a 100+ year old house, that is filled with charm....and annoying idiosyncrasies! I've got a hate on for the fireplace and carpet in the living room, and although we painted everything when we moved in and it LOOKS pretty, the layout in the kitchen is awful. Everything has to be moved including gas, electrical and a window, so it's a big project I have to wait for. My hubs is pretty handy too...or we wouldn't have bought this house...but the waiting is hard. <BR/><BR/>You've got a gorgeous property though, I can see why you bought it! Once you have the dream house I'm sure you'll look back and this will all seem pretty funny...<BR/><BR/>Until then, I'm here for sympathy anytime you need!Badness Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660823596302637985noreply@blogger.com
