A Bitter Sweet!

On January 7th We said our goodbyes and locked the door on our Helmick Home.
We put a lot of blood sweat and tears into that home and I mean literally.

I really loved it! I will miss it! I just wanted to put together some photos of our year and half stay in Oregon. Fixing it up. Some of you never made it out to see it and most of you never saw it at it's worst.

Here are a few of the before and after pictures.









Here is a picture of just one of our trips to the dump we took 5 of them all this size.

We spent every spare minute we had fixing it up. We replaced every window & door, More than half of the sheetrock, 4 new skylights, new roof and gutters, and a new paint job. We put in a new water line with 2 hydrants and cattle water line. We built a fence. Pulled up over 300 trees and pruned 301. Sprayed and cut back ivy and blackberries.

We gained a lot of experience and this may be the closest we come to building a house. We made a lot of good memories while here. Thanks to everyone for their help and support.
