Our property consists of two houses (the black and white one, and this one), the barn and the pond. We tried to purchase it when our four children were home during COVID thinking we needed a project. We were heartbroken when the estate accepted another offer. As the months moved on we kept a close eye on it, waiting for the "for sale" sign to be removed. To make a very long story short, the other offer fell through and they asked us if we were still interested. Even though the kids were back doing their own thing, we were thrilled, and said YES!
As we began working on the property, we would get irritated with each other because we kept confusing the buildings and decided to name them. Because this is our first time doing a remodel, we decided to call the buildings Dick (the cottage), Jane (the black and white house), and Spot (the barn), in honor of firsts! We call it our 15 year love project, as we have many plans for it! We have put a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into Dick. We hope you enjoy him as much as we do.
