The Early Residence

And now the moment you have all been waiting for... Time to see a couple rooms of the house that we have completed. To start with here is a picture of the front of our house from the street. The gigantic shade tree in the front yard shades the entire front half of the house and front yard. It is very nice and helps to keep things cool. To the right obviously is the driveway and there is a little gated entrance to the front in the middle of the house. The front yard is a nice size but so is the backyard so we really don't use it that much.


Our first week here, Don went to Home Depot and got some vinyl lattice which we fastened to the front gate to help patch the larger gaps that the dogs were able to get out of. It worked really well until tonight when Seumas found a gap in the fence in the backyard behind a giant tree that we weren't aware of. So he had his first big adventure in the neighborhood and that is going to get patched up immediately.





The front porch is where our mailbox is located over behind Don who in this picture is giving his mom and grandparents a visual walking tour of our house via live webcam. There is also a nice space for our garbage and recycling bins.

To the right of the house is a drive way. It is a single car lane which opens up a little wider in the back to accomadate the two car garage. Stacked behind each other we can fit about 4 cars in our driveway inside the gate and another one on the otherside of the gate. There is also a nice tree and severa rose bushes along this side of the house along the driveway.
