First up, is the building I'll live in. The first two pictures show what will be the dining room/living room. (All of these pictures were taken before we put in the heaters.)
And, yes, most everything you see in the rooms came with the buildings. It's kind of surprising what they left! For example-- multiple cork boards, two older TVs, tables, shelves, a metal desk, filing cabinet, telephones, and more.
This next picture is a look in the hallway, and office which will eventually become my kitchen. I don't have any pictures of the bathrooms yet.
Below is the other classroom. It will be my bedroom/writing room/whatever else. Right now, we don't want to put up any walls, but having this huge open floor plan definitely gives a lot of options to play with, should we decide to make more rooms.
And yes, there is a water fountain in my bedroom. : )
That does it for the house, but below are pictures of the boarding building, even though they are basically the same.
I will board pets in this room. As you can see, we have a little bit of cleaning up to do.
This is the hallway between the two bathrooms.
In this room, I want to have an area (lobby of sorts) where I can greet clients and get them checked in/picked up without a lot of barking dogs. Also, I am considering putting a few kennels in here for cats and other small animals so they won't have to be with all of the dogs.
My family also likes the idea of having part of the room for craft/leather projects and such.
Dad and I have been fixing minor cracks in the drywall which were caused by moving the buildings and it has been a fairly simple task, but requires quite a few layers.
I am kicking myself, so to speak, for not getting a before photo of the hole in the wall in the pic below. If you look at the repaired spot on the far left, you can see the outline of a rectangle. Before Dad fixed it, that was a huge hole that not only went through the drywall, but clear through everything else. It was huge! As you can see in this picture, which was taken during the progress of fixing it, that you can hardly tell there was a hole that big. I guess, since Dad and I were the only one to see the hole before, we'll be the only ones who will truly admire this fix in the wall.
Here are a couple more photos of different cracks and holes we were/are repairing.
I am already loving the views up at The Homestead even though I'm not moved in and I look forward to showing you more in future posts!
