the new house

i'm starting this blog to document the progress as we turn this new house into our home.  not wanting to bog down vera and finley update blogs with house related stuff... i'm starting anew.   this 'blog' will continue in the photo-heavy, few words, picture worth a thousand words style post used on the vera updates blog.  maybe someday i will merge the blogs, and jp will hand over the reigns to finley blog (please please please) and all will fall under one roof on the house of travii.  so stay tuned to see what the future holds for blogging.  maybe i will even use more words at some point in time?  but don't hold your breath :)  

we settle on the house in one week from today!  here are a few pictures of the outside of the house.  inside pictures to follow....
