So we took possession today. I went there this morning and dropped off a bunch of tools. They left a bunch of stuff, some of it worthwhile, some headed straight to the dump. All of these pictures were taken with a super wide angle lens and make rooms appear larger than they actually are. Didn’t mess with a tripod or HDR on the interior – these are just quick and dirty “before” shots.
Big news, we are about to buy an old farmhouse on six acres in Columbia. As in tomorrow. This has happened very quickly. The property went on the market about ten days ago and we close tomorrow. This is incredibly exciting and a bit nerve wracking. The basics are six acres and a 1600 square foot house about ten minutes northeast of Downtown Columbia. It is 30 minutes from Liz’s work in Franklin and 43 minutes from my parents’ place in Nashville. I would like more than six acres but this is a lovely piece of land that is very well laid out and the price was excellent. It will be large enough to do everything we want – goats, orchard, huge garden, and bonfires. The house needs a ton of work, including adding two bathrooms, but should be incredibly cool by the time we are finished. I am beyond excited and still processing the whole thing. I will write a lot more soon about our plans and goals for the property. But some serious work is about to start – I would like the house to be ready for us to move in by February 28th. Baby comes March 26th, so time is of the essence.
A couple of days ago I took a few pictures of the outside. On Tuesday I’ll try to take a lot more of both the house and land.
