The new house

Since I posted pictures of our current house, I thought I would post pictures of our new house.  Remember - this is how the house looks now - with the other people's stuff.  But we love it, so I wanted to share.  Be warned - there are a lot of pictures.  This is at the request of my mother!

Here is the outside of the house:
Front:

 Our 4th garage - which is completely finished so we are going to use it more as a rec room:

 Front of house from a different angle.  Yes - the front yard needs some help - they have too much going on:

 Side of house - this is where the screened in porch is.  Mat and I have a future plan to make this a four season room:

 3 car garage.  This is also finished - this guy didn't mess around!  And the ceilings are really high:

stairs up to the playroom.  This is another section of the house - off the downstairs.  It was a nice surprise to find.  Since the basement isn't finished, we can use this room until it is:

 Stairs to playroom.  They use it as an office.

 Okay - so after seeing this completely immaculate house, you are going to laugh at this room!

 Apparently, he doesn't throw any papers away.  I will be anxious to show you this room again when we fix it up:

 the floors under the carpet are wood, so we will be taking the carpet up:

 So that is the tour of the house!  I hope you are still awake.  Once we move in and start to make changes, I will share that with you.  But that won't be for awhile.
