On September 26th, 2009 we were married and began our lives together as husband and wife. Seth's Dad offered to move out of the old Bartlett farmhouse and allow us to move in once we were married. Once we moved in we realized it would take quite a bit to make it feel like home. We spent hours of hard work painting, patching plaster, and decorating. Joanna's parents lended us a hand which helped us out a lot. During our first year, we slowly realized the old house would need even more work if it were to make it in the long run. Seth's Grandpa Bartlett recommended we tear it down and start over with a new house. He said, "It has served its purpose and it's time for a new beginning." With that we began making plans to build a new house. On April 26th, the old place was torn down. It was a bittersweet day but we are excited to build a new home together on the Bartlett Farm!

The Jobsite



Formed up and pouring walls.




Footings poured.


Here is a "before" pic of the old farmhouse from the spring of our 1st year living in it.



And here is an "after" pic from after the demolition


This is what the old farmhouse looked like a few years ago.  It's the most recent picture I could find that was taken from a similar angle as the rest of the jobsite pictures.


Here is what was left after the old house was razed and cleaned up. 

Here are three panoramic pics of the jobsite taken from the top of the farm shop showing the recently dug hole for the new house's basement and garage walls.
