Welcome to Barrie

And now for the big unveiling:



This is our new house. Can you see the potential? We think we can. That's why we bought it. But it came with an unkept lawn/bushes, and two trailer loads of garbage! (thanks to the former owners).


It was an interesting day. But we'll save the details for later... Right now, we'll just show you some of the "Before" pictures. Maybe in a few months we'll be updating with some "After" pictures.








Entrance









The Kitchen















The Living Room (see if you can zoom in for the tacky wallpaper)








The Master Bedroom (Martin - you're coming to Ontario soon, right? 'cause we need a painter!)

















The Blue Bedroom (zoom in for the teddybears!)






The White Bedroom



Upstairs Bathroom
The Deck
Half of the Backyard (the other half features a Rabbit Pen)
The First Thing We Did (Clean Up the Place!)
Now you've been given the quick tour....if you want to see more (or the improvements, some of which will be quick in coming) then you'll have to come out and visit!

Looks great! I see the potential for sure! We just may have to spend a few days there when we come in december. I think that you should be very proud of the house, way to go! have fun updating!

It looks great! I think Grandpa said you were out somewhere behind Bayfield??? Where exactly are you located? Laurisse probably knows the area better than me. His brother is out in Innisfil. I don't know that you'll get to know them now that their kids are out of Timothy...unless you end up in their church. Looks like a lovely neighbourhood though. We don't get down that way too much anymore, but we'll be sure to look you up when we do!
