Home Building – Old Things New

A Video Tour of Our new Lakehouse

August 29, 2018 by Patti 22 Comments

Hey friends! I’m so happy you popped in today and I’d like to welcome you to our new home. I’ve never tried to upload a video here before and it’s been a test, to say the least. I tried shooting both vertically and horizontally from my iPad but still, I get these two black bars on the sides of the video. The good news is, that if you’re viewing from an iPhone or iPad, you can touch the screen to enlarge it, but on our old desktop computer this is the best view possible. I really want to get this figured out so I can do more videos in the future so if any of you have any advice or tutorials you can direct me to I’d truly appreciate it!

For now, I’d like to welcome you to my home. It is about a 12 minute tour so if you’d like to pour yourself a glass of whatever you like to drink, go ahead and do that. Then get comfortable as I show you around 🙂

Thank you so much for coming by. I hope I didn’t make you too dizzy with my shaky iPad. I promise I’ll try to get better at this in the future.

Blessings friends,

I’m Baaaaccckkk With a Big Welcome to our New Lakehouse!

Have you ever had a best friend that you talked to every single day? You know, that friend in Junior High who you spent nearly every waking moment with, and on the weekends took turns staying over at each other’s houses. This is the friend you could talk non-stop with and never run out of things to say. Or sit for hours not speaking but simply singing along to albums played on the record player. Carole King; America; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young . . .Yes?

Bursting With News to Share!

Where do I even begin to tell you everything I have to tell you about life over the past couple of months?

The last time I wrote, before leaving on a long Christmas vacation and much needed break, I was here, living in our Southern Colonial. What I didn’t tell you at the time was that our house was SOLD. In fact, it sold over Thanksgiving weekend but our Realtor, wanting to err on the side of caution, suggested that I not make any announcements until the final papers were signed. THEN, we held off the closing until January – so of course I haven’t shared the news until now.

But wait, this is March. Yes it is, and I’ve been doing a ton of things I’m bursting to tell you about, but this post is going to give you a only glimpse of what’s been happening here, because I have far more important news to share today.
