Today we resolve the final horror when the plumbers show up to replace the toilets, after which all will be right with the world. Just in case you think we have literally entered the eighth circle of hell, here are some “after” photos of the house to help reset (technically, these are “middle” photos, since we still have painting and flooring to take care of).
This is the main living area of the house, and main selling feature. It’s difficult to capture the grandeur in a photo, but here’s a look from a few different angles. The only unfortunate aspect is that the fireplace is not double sided, but it IS high efficiency so it should provide some help with heating in the winter.
The great hall, facing south 
The great hall, facing north 
A nook, next to the great hall
A few choice rooms, all wonderfully clean!
Main staircase, and second worst wallpaper in the house 
The parlour, Jeff’s future bar 
Master bedroom (still pink!) 
A very country kitchen 
Dining Room
The basement is not really usable living space, but useful to have. Check out the beams in the basement ceiling – they still have bark on them! The garage (which I like to call the barn because it’s comically huge) has a second floor that would be extremely useful if it didn’t plummet to -25C in the winter!
The basement will never look this good again 
The Chevy is home.
And lastly, a look at the outdoors. We’ve been fortunate to have some beautiful sunny days, although with a couple of frost warnings as a reminder that this is Ontario.

The view from the porch, where we drank our coffee every morning. 
We decided to keep the tire swing! 
The Pig Barn, which is dangerously dilapidated, but super cute.
We’ll be back soon with a moving truck. Please come visit! We have LOTS of space and we’d love to have you!
The house is BEAUTIFUL! I especially love the trim outside.
HI actually really like the wall paper, especially if you are going for the restoration look.
Jeff, please reconsider installing a dance floor in the bar.
Most of the wallpaper is pealing away at the edges, unfortunately. I’ll pass on the message to Jeff!
