Making It Home

Well as most of you know, my brother-in-law Neil and his family moved down to Ocean Side and we decided that we'd move into their old house. We wanted to do it for a couple of reasons, it's a lot bigger house, it's got a huge yard for the boys and it's about 100 feet from Eddie and Susie's house (that's probably the main reason). So, there's just a few things we wanted to do to make it our home. It's been quite the process already, Ed's been over there daily working on it along with his Dad and Bill Bradshaw. We hired a contractor to come in and lower the ceiling, they were around 16' and we figured it might be a little cheaper to heat if we lowered them. We took out the fire place that was kind of starting to crumble and put up a couple new walls. There's still a lot to do, a lot of painting and then the actual moving in part, so we're hoping by the end of May we'll be able to move in. Some background on the house, Ed's parents built that house in '78 I believe and that's the house that Ed grew up in, and now it's come full circle and we're looking forward to moving in there and raising our children there.
