This is my antique farm house built in 1907, I feel I was led to it through supernatural intercession by a old man and women who wanted it livable by its 100th birthday, its really not much to look at unless you like antiques, but I aquired it after it became a REO for next to nothing

I did nothing on the outside yet except rebuild the porch, but totally renovated the inside, I have alot of plans for the outside this summer though

heres the north(i think) end view

[coralproper]

try to attach again

[coralproper]

how do I paste the pics to a post instead of attachment ?? anyone ?

[coralproper]

keep in mind we are still in a little cold weather here but the pecan trees and creep myrtels, dogwoods, fruit trees(with leaves) and thousands of flowers and cintipeed grass that pops up everywere make it a spectacular display in the spring and summer, I have alot more pics of the land and inside but would rather copy them to the post so they dont have to be clicked as attachments

this is what brings me solace and makes me feel manly, working with my hands and with the land, oh ..... and my limited edition 5.9 liter 360 dodge motor grand cherokee limited edition all weel drive, one of only 1000 that was produced and the fastest stock Suv on the road until the cherokee with a Hemi come out in 2006, it will pass everything but a gas station

just added that since its relavent to another thread in this forum and in one of the pics I'll be posting

like this coral...

tpye : [image][/image]

pull up the pic you want to post... copy the address from the 'properties' option when you right click the pic with your mouse.. copy that..

then come back to the post here and 'insert' the 'address between the two [image][/image] markers using the 'paste' option when you right click in the center....

hope that makes sense

can imaging some hauntings there ... cool cool you left the 100 yr old steps.... the view from the porch..... nice ...

very nice....

[coralproper]

the back acrers gos into the woods in the distance behind the trampoline, the trampoline sets about where the front door of where our new house will set one day, and the farm house will be left for the spirits(whom it belongs to) and our guests who visit

note my jeep in the pic..... one of only 1000 made like it, I aquired it for next to nothing, as well, I have been blessed for reasons unknown to me

I'll post a few more pics of the house foyer, at x-mas with the tree up and maybe a few more , maybe tomorrow ,I am getting tierd now

as I said before its really not that spectacular, and we even have a nicer house down the road but, something is keeping us on this property, I wanted to buy another much bigger 2 story with a balcony, I could have got dirt cheap and flip this one, but the wife wont leave this location now

[coralproper]

the old lady wanted me to post some of her flowers, literaly hundreds and hundreds of all kinds and colors will come up all over the yard over the next few months, I snapped a pic of these today, they are a little early and there were several more of other colors coming out today, as well

[nowheretorun]

cool and groovy coral... impressive work... nice pics.... really nice work....

[coralproper]

thanks, funny thing is , I aquired everything needed for renovations at atleast 80% discount and spent less than 5k on renovations so far

this includes all new appliances ,stainless fridge,ceramic top stove etc etc

[nowheretorun]

thanks all, as I said before, I know its nothing fancy, and you have to be into antiques to understand its value but, it has a power to it that keeps me living on the property but , I will be building a new house in the future, just on the same property

interestingly I learned a great deal about the original owners and builder today

there is a country store within veiw of the north end of the house, and the owner a late 80's year old lady was taking my order at the grill, and she knew who I was , I started talking to her about the house and she said that it was her great uncles and carried me to the back of the store where there are alot of old pictures on the wall of her family, she showed me a picture of him (her great uncle) with his dog, a very old picture, I snapped a shot of it with my nextel, and she said I can take it and have a copy made, his name was Frank Jackson and his wifes name was Martha, she said they never had any children

then she invited me and my family to her church just down the road, she said they are a very small methodist church, of about 52 members
