What didn't go at auction and was in disrepair needed to be cleaned out of the yard. It was disappointing to not see everything go, but it was also very theraputic to watch it go up in flames...
Here is our ghost hunting team! They came at 6:00 to get the layout of the house and ask if we had seen, heard or felt anything. They came back at 11:00 with camcorders and tape recorders. They were in the house, barn and grounds for a couple of hours and didn't see or hear anything. We will get their final report once they have listened to their tapes and done their review.

She came for a tour on Wednesday and got to the house, ready to hang drywall. Karen worked alongside Charles for 8 hours carrying, cutting and hanging drywall. Aren't new friends wonderful! Karen looked at the house in February and knew it was more than she wanted to take on, but had a love for the house and wanted to help get her back to her glory.
Mom and Dad taking a much deserved break after spending 8 hours working in the yard. Dad came down with his tractor. They cut small trees, sprayed 8 gallons of poison ivy and weed killer, dragged the trees to a burn pile, mowed the yard, around the barn and the corral and cleared out the rest of the stuff that was in the yard. The yard looks incredible. I can't wait to see what it will look like after a couple years of regular care. They came early on Sunday morning and spent two and a half more hours sweeping the stairs, setting up for the party, cleaning off the front porch and filling in the ruts.
Teddy spent some time on Saturday scrapping wallpaper in Bailey's room. We are making some progress in there and I hope to make some good progress while Charles is gone in the bedrooms; especially this one!
We have been so impressed with Seth and Ben. They each have their own cordless screwdrivers, tool belts, hammers and tape measures. They work right along side us making this old house a home. 
After this weekend, Ben loves putting up drywall. He spent several hours putting screws in with his favorite screw gun a Makita cordless.
