Our New House!

These are pictures of our new house in Port Orchard. They were all taken before we got any furnishings in it. I don't have photos of all the rooms yet, maybe later.
I hope to post some projects that we have been working on through out the house at a later date.

This is looking toward the house from the road.

Here is the field Ashley (my horse) is in. This is looking from my bedroom window.

Here is the house from the driveway.

As you can see it is raining. It always rains here. We are now convinced that the Ark didn't land on Mt. Ararat, but in Port Orchard and our house is built on top of it.

This is the back of the house. As you can see we live on a hill.

This is the "back" door, but we use it as the front. On the right, out of sight is the dog house. This is not one of your little one room dog houses. No, this is one of a kind two bedroom dog house! Complete with two dog beds and rubber mats!

Here is our kitchen, laundry room, and main thoroughfare from "front" door, to upstairs, and to the basement. Basically name almost any place in the house and you have to go through the kitchen to get there.

We have one bathroom. With 4 people its a challenge! Life never gets dull in this family!

14 steps to the top built like a ladder at a 45 degree angle!

All the bed rooms are upstairs. The rooms are cozy. In the Summer we hope to paint the rooms.

Here's the office, well part of it. It's in a shape of a "U" because the stairs go right through the middle of it.

Poor dad is kicked out of the bedroom and has to have all his clothes and shoes in the office closet. He says, "its just like when we were first married. Your mom had the bedroom closet and I had the hall closet. Share and share alike."

What could be behind this piece of wood? ...

Yes, a cupboard, but this room is so small that the cupboard is the only place where I can fit my dresser. So out with the cupboard and in with the dresser. After we fix the leaking roof.

Yes, thanks to the Langfords, we got our first (of several) loads moved in. It was a scary first night. Sleeping on the floor with the knowledge of spiders everywhere was not the most enjoyable thing. Vacuuming was my favorite past time!!

Ah, the basement! Yes, there are even less steps to the basement then there were to upstairs. 11 in all TRY not to fall.
The house was built in the 1920's - 1930's so it has a good excuse.

On the left side is the door way to the stairs and the pantry. The wall and the stairs are the only things separating the room from being a box.

This is the main part of the basement. You will never see a photo of what it looks like right now! As soon as we get a garage built the basement should be pretty-much cleared out. Then we can get that fixed up.


On the other side of the left wall is the stairs and pantry. On the right side is where the door leads to the outside.
So now you've seen almost all of it. Maybe later I'll have more.
