Georgia Pictures

Our Georgia farm is our get away, but it's still our "work a lot", too. The property has been in my hubby's family for over 100 years and we hope to continue that for at least the next 100. Here are some pictures of what we've done. Some we have before and after for, others we don't have pictures until I look through the video tour I did of the house for our sons (who hadn't been there in a while) and grab some screen shots. Now you'll see why I've been gone so often and so long and how hard we've worked!

Kitchen Before:


Kitchen After (Yes, we did fix the trim around the light fixtures.)

Living Room Before (with the cushions from the porch chairs in front of the couch. Sorry.):


Living Room After:

Master Bathroom:
Old Toilet and Shower area (left of the door):



What's there now:


Where the old shower used to be is the new toilet:

The old vanity used to be across from the bathroom's double doors:


Where that old vanity sat is the new bathtub and a fireplace over it.

Where the OLD bathtub used to be (right of the door: note the old windows)...


...is the NEW shower area (72" long by 30" wide):

Family Room Fireplace, BEFORE:


Fireplace AFTER we re-did it:

Outside, we have this to mow with: (YES, I do drive this and do the mowing all the time and I do work the grappling claw, etc.)


I love my new Kubota U55-5 Excavator, too! I took out about 15 20-30 foot tall trees recently using it, too.


And this to work with:

Our farm's machines (tractor, and its implements, and excavator) didn't have anywhere to be undercover so we had to fix that. Our new barn has remedied that problem, thanks to Cleland Concrete and Construction.com. Our friend, Ricky, did the slab last year and the building this year. Now we have somewhere to put our heavy machinery, riding mowers and miscellaneous stuff.

So that's it so far. I don't have pictures of everything we've done, but you get the idea of how hard we've worked and why we're gone so often. I may post more at another time.
