Can't wait ...Red barn + red house = Amazeballs! Can't wait to see it!<br /><br />My cottage (in the southern Gulf Islands, so I'm way north of you) is aubergine with lime green trim right now, courtesy of the previous owners. If I get it painted before you get to yours I'll send pictures. <br /><br />I have friends in northern Alberta who have a farm (completely off-grid on the edge of the Grizzly Trail; they have moose wading in their pond). Like you, though, they still have to live in the city and work full time to support their farming habit. It's not easy but I know it will all be worth it, for them and you, when you finally get to enjoy all your sunrises and sunsets right there on the land.

Roof if first, then possibly a new bathroom and then we'll work on the exterior. But we're still doing it red. In fact, going to use the same colors as for the barn and shed. We just think it would be so nice to have a barn red house and then have the outbuildings match. <br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you'll hang around. I post pretty much every day, a miscellany of things, food, garden, random fun finds, just stuff like that. We still live in town and work full time (that helps us pay for fixing up the farm). We're probably still a few years away from being out there full time but it's fun working toward that goal. Thanks!!!

Did you end up painting your house red? Are there pictures of it somewhere on your blog?<br /><br />Also, I love what I've seen so far so I'm signing up!<br /><br />CorinneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295898702514227266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-18124609712431097122015-02-15T23:32:33.759-06:002015-02-15T23:32:33.759-06:00This was Tuffshed...they usually have a set up in ...This was Tuffshed...they usually have a set up in Home Depot parking lots. They were very professional from all aspects of the process. And the quality seems very nice at this point. I understand that in different parts of the country, different offices might have issues, but for the most part, we have a good one here in this part of the state. I checked with the local BBB and read HD reviews and did some googling. We felt comfortable with them. Hope that helps!<br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-87903970981270625522015-02-15T23:23:43.115-06:002015-02-15T23:23:43.115-06:00It is, and was further down the list but as I said...It is, and was further down the list but as I said, it all worked out where we could get it, get the right financing and just get it done.

We went for a visit and my husband had the idea to build him an 'elevator' so he would be able to get builky, heavy things up top to store them. They left a hole in the floor up there and my husband hung an electric hoist, made a platform with edges to keep things put, hung the platform from the hoist, and put switches upstairs and down to control the whole thing. It works like a charm. It didn't cost much, either. Since you two plan to retire to the farm, think how it will be in the future when you can no longer safely carry bulky, heavy items.
