I’m so excited that the exterior transformation has begun! Check out the before and after of our new roof. It was raining when I took the after pictures but the new roof is grey and best of all, not missing huge chunks. HOORAY!
Before:
In progress:
AFTER:
Next step… siding, windows, and doors!
Thanks for checking in 🙂

Welcome to the farm! Hardhats on for the official before tour. Enjoy!
Photo 1 – The house. The entire house will have a facelift very soon but that’s a post all on it’s own.
Photo 2 – Shed by the house. Future carport?
Photo 3 – The “pool”, aka the terrarium. And yes, that is indeed a maple growing in it. Fear not, it will be one day be a pool again.
Photo 4 – The view from the back deck. In the future, this will be one of my favorite spots on the farm! Imagine with me… pergola, grill, floating in the pool, umbrella drink and view of the horses, ahhhh. But back to reality, the deck is not in phase one of the renovation plan.
Photo 5 – Barn. The barn is also in need of a lot of work but that’s phase two for sure.
Photo 6 – Indoor arena with attached tack room. It’s in desperate need of footing and kick boards.
Photo 7 – This shed row will be one of the first things to go. I can’t wait to see the barn from the front door.
Photo 8 & 9 – Buildings
Photo 10 – Outdoor arena
We’ve yet to settle on a name for the farm so stay tuned. Thanks for joining us as we FIX THIS FARM!
We bought a farm today!! My face is still stuck in an extremely goofy perma-grin.
We bought 14 acres of the old Sunburst property with a house, a big barn, an outdoor arena, an indoor arena and about 6 other buildings in various states of disrepair. Oh, and one large hole in the ground formally known as a pool. With a little TLC, I think it will be awesome. Here you can join us on our new adventure as we FIX THIS FARM. We will be contracting out and (mostly) DIY’ing our way to our own little slice of paradise.
I’ll post the official “Before” photos tomorrow evening.
PS – We also acquired the coolest next door neighbors EVER.
