Will agonized over what to write on the billboard type sign for K-10 Kennels. He wanted something which would allow people to know what the property was for, as well as warning off uninvited pheasant hunters and the like.
This was of great importance, because we had had shots put off in the yard while we [...]

What Was Your House Made For?

I never thought much about this question until we bought the farm house. Once it was ours, and we began seriously cleaning out trash and sorting the rest of the belongings left there, I began to reflect on the “feel” of that house versus the one we are still living in.
The one we are living [...]

Progess!
Here is the entry way after it’s first cleaning and mopping. Will and I took a deep breath and plunged in – wearing work gloves – to remove the mouse-mess-infested, ever-smelly mountain of trash in the corner. In this pile we found many surprises.
I had assumed, at first, that this pile was primarily camping gear [...]

The spirit in the old lady’s closet wound up in the pantry. It is just across the wall from the closet, and I felt truly simple when I went in there to see what I could see (with my spiritual eyes), and saw the same fellow, lounging around making faces.
There he stood in the back corner, staring disgustedly [...]
Homestead: A Goat Shed

I discovered, the day of the great snow, that there is a very nice building on the homestead, which may serve as a weather-tight, cozy barn for my goats and horses.
It is only an old granary, connected to the garage, but it is so surrounded by evergreen trees that the weather has had no chance to [...]
What Our (Hopefully) New House Looks Like From Outside…According to the Original Wardway Kit Blue Prints

A few things were changed from these plans. For instance, the floor plan was flipped, and the mudroom was added after the main structure was built (the plans below do not include a mudroom).
There was never any intentions (seemingly) of putting in bedrooms and a sewing room upstairs, though this seems this would have been [...]

This is the mudroom as it has no doubt stood for many years (minus K-10 the German Shepherd). It is a nice mudroom.
Only problem is, the attached kitchen is rather small. It has a nice propane stove, however, with six burners and two ovens. I would like to put our Dixie wood-and-coal cookstove in, though, [...]
Homestead: Autumn Surrounds Us; Well Troubles

The house looks a bit sad without its snuggling summer foilage. But it also fills me with inspiration for remodeling and redecorating ideas. In many instances, redecorating is not the right word, as the house has never had a lick of wall paper, and in many places, not even paint. So I will get to [...]
Homestead: My Plans for Our Bedrooms
Posted in Home Improvements, Inspirations for Life and Projects, My Life and Family on October 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The large room in the basement of Katherine’s old home will be two rooms: an office for Will, and a master bedroom.
I plan to leave a hallway down the chimney side of the room, leading to the children’s bedrooms, and of course, the cellar and spare room (storage).
If I put a wardrobe in the spare [...]
