Author: Sorry for the lack of updates to the site. Things have been busy with spring planting, adjusting to a night shift, working on the house, and getting ready for the move.
We’ve spent the past two months working on the old farmhouse only to come upon a significant roadblock this past week. For some reason much of the sub-structure (floor support) has completely rotted away. Fortunately we discovered this before much work was done on the addition. In fact it was when they were digging the basement that we found this out.
So we had to make a tough decision. This Friday they will be knocking down much of the old farmhouse except for the garage and the porch. After discussion with a home mover it was told to us that we would have to spend a significant amount of money to fix the problems with the structure and he wasn’t sure what else would be discovered once he started working.
As such there’s a bit of frustration as we were hoping to remodel / restore / and enjoy this old house, but it wasn’t in the books. We’re packing feverishly and getting ready to move by the end of this month. Everyone has mixed emotions about the move, however we’re trusting in God for His direction in the upcoming weeks with our move, progress on the house, and all kinds of other things.
As I have time I’ll post pictures of the farmhouse, and our progress.
God bless and have a good weekend!
