Day 3 and water logged…

We decided since the Lake decided to lower the water levels today was the perfect day to get some of the underbrush down! 

Water front property without a view?  Got that fixed!

Pouring down rain- but while the Lake had been drained for the hurricane-
perfect time to do some shore work.
Looked like we had been in the lake- but just drenched with the downpours!
Totally worth it with this view of the lake!

It’s finally ours!

We finally were able to take possession of our new home on today!  

Here are a couple of pics to show you around a little ~ you will see it’s a little dated compared to the home we just sold, but there is so much potential for our new home!

It may not look like a fancy entrance to a house on the lake – but one day this foyer will shine!

A little outside Clean-Up

Yes, most people move in when they close; unfortunately the current owner is unable to move for another month.  Since we can’t get started on the inside ~ we decided we could start on the outside.  As you will see there is a lot of work to be done; but today was a good start. 

We did forget the before picture of this- but the entire side was covered in rust.  Peter was able to use RustAid to get rid of the brown crud crawling down the siding.

As he was doing chimney project- I started on the front yard.  You can’t see much of a difference – but three bags of leaves and debris were removed just from a small area.

before…


and after…

Have fun on our first day!
Enjoying the water view!
Thinking of all of the to-dos…

Closing Day!

The day we were finally waiting for- the day our Life of Leisure begins!

But we could not have done it without
the great team from Jamie White Realty

and the wonderful gifts that followed…will be putting these to good use I’m sure when we move in and start working on our new home!
