We are closing at 1:00 today. All the delays have made it possible for MTC to join us at the closing table and it will be our (one-day early) anniversary gift to each other. So for those of you following our timeline closely... looked at the house on Valentine's Day and closed on (we'll call it) our anniversary... can you say meant to be? (I can hear the collective GOOO out there - my apologies, but I love a good sign.)
We are staying local for Memorial Day Weekend and plan to get started on some of those projects over on the sidebar... and get back to the original point of this blog - to document our work on the house!
This past weekend, when we returned to Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm for a day of vintage baseball, free range farm animals, and Mercury Brewing bevies, we ran into Frank (dump truck owner, renegade architect, and all-around good guy). He’s a longtime Ipswich resident and told us that around 1920, the whole town was re-surveyed and property lines went haywire—his driveway is technically in his neighbor’s yard. This typical small New England town development is equal parts gratifying and frustrating.
Here’s a few shots from the game -- can't wait to bring other friends and family to this beautiful spot about 15 minutes down the road from the new place.
