The House


We were going to venture out today, after 3 days of concentrated paper grading on Betty's part.  Then discovered that today is a national holiday (All Saints' Day) and it's probable that everything, including most restaurants, are closed.  So, we're going to have a reading day-- a "for fun" reading day!  So what you get is the house.

So, this is what the house looks like in Mendy.  When Alastair and Louise bought it, the roof was caved in and it was in pretty rough shape.  They lived in a trailer for the first 18 months while renovating.  I haven't got any pics of the inside, simply because we managed to clutter it up so quickly.


The house is attached to a large, two-story barn.  The original idea was to convert the barn and make the place into a B&B, but apparently, it's too far off the beaten track to make that pay. 

The first floor of the house is open, kitchen, dining and living room.  Second floor, 3 bedrooms and a large bathroom.  Third floor, master with plans to add a bath.  There is another bathroom in a room on the first floor between the house and the barn, which holds the washing machine, dishwasher, hot water heater, etc.


Another detached barn on the property, strictly storage so far.





And the vegetable garden

I won't judge you if you post pictures of clutter. I want to see the inside!
