Vacation Home

My lifelong dream has come true.  We recently bought a vacation home. Situated in the foothills of the Unitas near the beautiful Bear River.  This quant 2 bedroom 1 bathroom boasts a separate dining room, wood-burning fireplace, covered porch, garage and shed.  The yard is fully fenced with mature landscaping.


In full disclosure, calling this a "vacation home" is more than a stretch.  Rather than spending hundreds of dollars a month on hotel costs, we bought a fixer-upper.  Joe has courageously taken on this project, in addition to the mess he is cleaning up at the business.  

A few before highlights include:

Several layers of linoleum under very old carpet and a colorful fireplace

A few years of dirt under the refrigerator

Several layers of wallpaper

Challenges aside, all of the boys, especially Joe, have put in hours of sweat and tears and though still far from complete, "Cheers" for all of the hard work and a job well done.
