Hey what are they doin' over there?


The kitties are not ours but if we had that many they would all be lined up on the couch watching the activity across the street at the large two story farm house.
 

It stood vacant for several years, gradually some repairs have been made to it, the very large oil tank just out side on this end was removed.  New roofing along with Sky lights were put on the top floor and some serious work was done on the shrubbery around the house.  And we have listened to the music of weekend skill saws for quite some time.  I assume it is all interior work.  
 

The owners finally broke out the power washer and what a difference!  From this distance it looks like the original paint job has held up pretty well.  Our initial scrub on our house a few years ago scoured off years worth of nastiness and flaky paint.  This project may not even require new paint but it couldn't hurt.  Wonder if the fancy work on the upper floor will get pink or green spindles?  This old farm house was one of the first houses in this area in the late 1800's and stood amidst farm land until the city grew enough to meet the farm.  I'll try to keep you posted with shiny pictures of this old beauty.
