Extreme Old House Makeover Part 1

So Adam and I bought our house almost 3 years ago now (hard to believe!)  We originally rented  it  for a few months and then bought it but we have been stuck in rental mode for a long time aka we haven’t touched a thing – we haven’t even changed the curtains which are actually shower curtains from the dollar store haha..
To give a little more background, our house is 120+ years old. It’s been renovated quite a bit inside but the outside is a total mess. It came with 3 sheds and a greenhouse. One of the sheds is sinking into the ground, the greenhouse has gone wild with bind weed and the rest of the sheds are loaded with old junk.. The previous owner Roger Belanger was a well known local photographer, he was also an attempted “Mr. Fix It” by the endless amount of wood, tools and inventions scattered around the property and inside the house. We like to call his ‘fixes’ Rodger-Rigged.. you will understand this better  as I post more lol
So this year we have really started to get our act together to bring this truly unique and character filled house back to life! I know it will look awesome if we just give it a little TLC! Step one is getting the yard cleaned up.

So we borrowed Adam’s Dad’s trailer to fill up with yard stuff.. Adam thought we would only need to take one load to the dump.. haha yeah right!  It’s totally full after about two hours of work last night!
We have a little Koi pond and area that is going to get a giant make over, hopefully will be the new bbq and patio area it has a really nice view of the water

Picking up old pieces of wood I almost gave up on my yard cleaning when this little guy came out to say HEY!.

Here is the crooked shed.. it could use a new coat of paint as well!
