Before and After Photos
The house and grounds needed some attention when we bought the farm in 2001. Here are a few photos of some very early before and after cleanup. We hauled away 30 tons of debris, restored the house and barn and renovated the fence lines and pastures, built the pond, paved the driveway, added out buildings, improved existing buildings, etc. etc.
Many of these photos were scanned from developed film.
