So, we bought a house.

This is our "new" house.  It's actually pretty old.  The paperwork says that it was originally built in 1790.  And to put that in perspective, George Washington was the president of the United States when this was built.

This is the side view of the house.  The architectural style is considered Second Empire because of the Mansard roof and bay windows on each side.  It looks a little like a lunch box to me.

Certainly lots of work has been done on this house since then.  I'm very curious about what parts of the house have been there for over 200 years.  It's a little tough to get information, since this house was a foreclosure.  The previous owners would probably rather not be contacted.  It could be a touchy situation.

We have a lot of work that needs to be done on the house.  Our plan is to get the house into shape and then put it up for rent.  I thought it would be fun to keep track of what we do on the house.
