These are before pictures of the front. While clearing out the garage to make room for the construction to begin, I found my planner from 1999 (along with many other things that I save for sentimental reason and no good reasons at all), which likely was saved because it documented the timeline from offer to closing on this property - June 15, 1999.

Since 1999, dreams have been brewing of making this wonderful property into a home we can stay in for a very long time to come. The current footprint is about 1500sf, 3br/2ba with a family room, kitchen, dining room and a two car garage with attached storage shed. The plan is to add a front porch (where you see the set of six windows to the right of the garage) so the new front door will no longer be hidden behind the umbrella tree. Then, the garage space will become a family room/media room, and the shed to the left of the garage, which is hard to see in this pic, will become an office space. The new garage will be built at an angle off to the side of the office. And that is just the beginning. . .
