The kitchen is awesome! You have the glass tiles that I have been dreaming about. Since you two are so accomplished at tiling I’ll have to hire you to do mine.
You make a great team – love you both!

Looking good!!! Your appliances are fantastic and the stainless steel blends well with the colors in the slate. Were the lilies already there or did you plant them? They will continue to spread and are extremely hardy. Where is a picture of Christie? Give TJ the camera and send us a shot of you! Miss you both!

Hey T.J. !! Quite a project you have going & very impressive !! I must have missed the pics of you & your wife if they are on the site. Just wanted to see if I could recognize you after all the years. A note, my sister bought a farmhouse built in 1899, had 5 acres left. Part of the original structure was actually built of very large logs, b ut had been added on to a few times. She restored as much as she could & was very nicely done.She paid $11,000.00 cash for it & sold it 2 years later for $139,000. her & her husband have made a lot of money buying old farmhouses with acerage, re-habing the homes & selliing it with a few acres. Most of the properties they buy were in the U.P. &b had at least 500 acres. They are now very “land rich” ! The one I just told you about was here in Herron.
Glad to here that you are doing so well. Larry B

The house and property look in a lot better shape than I imagined based on your description. It looks like you are getting a very good deal.
