Ok, so its time to crack on and tell you more about whats going on here at the Brewster. I think i need to fast forward and take a couple of posts to bring you up to date so that i can tell you about everything thats happening as and when it happens like i’d always wanted to do. What i’ll do from now is probably jump back in time with a post every now and again

 

Time for some pics to start with (in no particular order) from February and March 2007 when we first arrived

Us on our “thrones” as people said when we appeared in one of the 2 State daily newspapers

Our first snowfall 2 days after we arrived. You don’t get snow in England so to find 12″ of it outside was interesting

Our snow plow guy Perry, Theresa and his truck. He is a BIG help when we get major snow

In June once all the snow had gone it was time to get on with repairing the house. The 2 people that we gave that task to were Elijah and Ethan.

These pictures are how the house looked in June once the paintwork had all been scraped and powerwashed prior to priming and brush painting
