Grew up in your average neighborhood, but both grandparents lived in rural areas. Always wanted to get off the man path, and out where things wont reach you as eaisly.Finally getting my chance.
Dont get me wrong, im not 300miles from a gas station, but its out of the city limits, and far from where average problems will reach.
My father owns the land that touches mine. We have a 40x60 shop. He is a retired Machine Shop owner and an old school Tool & Die maker. We both have water wells, numerous generator options,including gas, diesel, and LP as well as a fair ammt of SHTF provisions.
We were suppose to close last Fri, but the poor weather prevented some outside work. The inside is pretty much done. Only some finishing work, and small details lack. But for the most part, its almost ready to go. Water, elec and heat is all on.
All we lack, is some landscaping, and the driveway. The rain is the only thing holding us up. Which is just as well, because we didnt want to have to rush to move in during the holidays.
Just some info.
Its 2344 sqft heated
about 2800 under roof
House is both gas and elec
2car garage
4 bed, 3 bath, 2 story.
We opted to have an upstairs room added, as the initial price was dirt cheap. Though, we decided to finish the room out at our leisure since we really dont need the space right now.
The upstairs is a 14x18 room with a full bath.
I didnt make any pics of the guest bedrooms. They are pretty basic, 13x15, and a full bath.
I should mention, there are no pictures of gun storage, but I assure you. Its all been arranged, and everything has its place, and is well secure.
And no, you damn yankees, there is NO BASEMENT! I live in Louisiana, not -200 below Moosejaw North Dakota.
This is the forming up.
Over in the far left, you can see my fathers and mine shop.
He is building on the land immediately to my left.
We both share the pond.
View from front yard.
Another view of the kitchen.
Living room.
April is hell-bent on putting the TV over the fireplace. Please tell her this is a bad idea for more than a few reasons.
View out the living room door, to the back porch.
Back porch. On the right is the Master br, on the left is a guest BR.
Back porch. This is one thing I wanted. A large back porch for sitting, grilling, ect. Also, I had a gas line ran out here. So I can just plumb my grill to it and not have to mess with propane jugs.
You can see the bung between the brick and right window.
Master bath shower and tub. April wanted the Jacuzzi tub. Ill probably never set foot in it.
Master BR.
Unfinshed upstairs room. We plan to finish it ourselves once we get in and settled. Elec, plumbing and HVAC is already ran.
