Photos of our house....

View
from the street |
Front
of house from driveway - we might eventually repaint the front of
the house a darker slate blue. The front sidewalk is a mess, so
we hope to replace it with a stone path. It gets pretty dark at
night, so we have installed solar lights along the walkway. |
 |
 |
BEFORE (May): Driveway
heading toward street |
AFTER (October): Decorated
for Halloween |
 |
 |
BEFORE
(May): A shot of the heavily wooded backyard - we would
have to clear some more if we extend the deck |
BEFORE
(May): Backyard extends as far back as you can see through
the trees in this picture (.83 acres) |
 |
 |
| AFTER (October): Area around rhodedendrum has been cleared, and we're thinking about trimming back the rhodie and possibly moving it | AFTER (October): Tom and his friend, Joel, cut down at least six major trees and cleared a significant amount of smaller trees and brush. |

Facing
front of house from side yard - landscaping needs some work (grass,
flagstone walkway) |
Small
deck off of side of house with entrance near kitchen - the rest
of the house has that weathered natural look |
 |
 |
Side
of house - Tom wants to replace this small deck with a wrap-around
deck.... |
...that
will extend around back of house. The double-windows on second floor
at the end could eventually be replaced with sliders out to the
expanded deck. |

 |
We
saved the best for last: the ocean and this beach are a mere 10
minute walk (if that) away... |
Facing
the ocean - pretty rocky beach. We've heard that the town is clearing
a path in the rocks to create an area for people to launch their
boats. |

Open
land down to the left. |
Down
to the right the neighbors don't mind if you're on the beach as
long as you don't climb their rock walls to their yards. |
