To care for something so beautiful is a real pleasure, even though it can cause pain to the pocket book ;)<br /><br />Old homes are so much better than new ones that just fall apart after 10 years. No wonder your family loves to work on them and they do a wonderful job.<br /><br />xoRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-48048967888945381922015-09-08T19:56:56.058-07:002015-09-08T19:56:56.058-07:00What a beautiful home, and the grounds are amazing...What a beautiful home, and the grounds are amazing.

They were built to last, but that doesn't mean they can do it alone. Time takes its toll on everything and everyone, and as such, repairs are necessary in order to refresh and refurbish the foundations of such established structures. The new skylight and snow guards, along with all the other repairs, will, no doubt, guarantee that the overall beautification of this home continues to be structurally sane, as well as aesthetically alluring.<br /><br />Happy Labour Day, Dewena!<br /><br />xoxo<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-60051355016275919342015-09-07T15:38:05.724-07:002015-09-07T15:38:05.724-07:00What a beautiful house ... and your photo's ar...What a beautiful house ... and your photo's are lovely, thank you for sharing them with us.<br /><br />Have a lovely week.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-88139927958771292162015-09-07T14:41:45.994-07:002015-09-07T14:41:45.994-07:00Oh my goodness!!

The wood siding looks very nice with the Western cedar. I love the design in the brick with the sunlight shining through. I am wondering if those are crosses? And I would love to walk through that rose garden. It doesn't look like there are any roses at this time. <br /><br />I hope you are having a nice Labor Day weekend.<br /><br />love, ~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-61946390625543480852015-09-06T16:02:56.403-07:002015-09-06T16:02:56.403-07:00Doreen, I think R.H. said it was built in 1930.

I don't think you mentioned how old it is. Do you know? My rather uneducated guess is maybe around 100 years old? Most of the homes I fall in love with are about that old. The 1920's and 30's were the golden age for homes as far as I'm concerned. After WWII quality went down when there was a high demand.,<br /><br />Happy Labor Day to you too Dewena!<br /><br /><br />Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-79324124861375958882015-09-06T12:02:08.429-07:002015-09-06T12:02:08.429-07:00Love the quote!!!
