the kidder house

So here it is. This is the view from the front. It took us a while to get the grass cut enough so we could get a decent picture. And in case you're wondering the rest of the three acres i'm standing on is still uncut behind me. That's this weekend's project.

Just to bring you up to date. We've been doing work on it since closing date which was March 18. We discovered the night before our scheduled move in day that the new water well had not been connected to the house! That prevented us from moving in for about 10 days. Willem and my dad, Gene, dug hole all over the place to find the water main into the house. After about 5 tries they found the pipe and took to digging the trench for the new water main.

Shortly after that we also discovered another water pipe that had been busted by the crew workers' machinery who had put in the septic tank.

After getting water on, there were leaks on every cold water fitting and toilet gasket. (The house had been sitting for 2 years without water...everything had dry rotted.)

Next came hot water heater, new kitchen appliances, lights, and as of Saturday new air conditioning units. We'll post more pics of the inside as we start to renovate. Below are a couple of cute pics of the girls in the front yard.
