This is an older picture of our house, but basically it's the same now.

Here's a picture of our house after we got over 2 feet of snow dumped on us in December. It was taken from the front of the yard.

Nice pics everyone I will have more later showing my husband ripping up the garden and then putting down plant waste to make a bigger drive in and also for the base of a workshop
Oh my gosh BC your back yard is heaven, a pond, a field all those lovely furballs. Oh I am so jealous, I have a nice house but a small yard. I so want to be out in the country like you.
I also loved the pictures of Ireland, how charming. Can't wait to go someday and see all the lovely sites and history.
Here is my house.

We have a small and modest home, but it is cosy, the kitties love all the verandahs which go right around the corner to sunbathe in their glory, in summertime i usually have hanging baskets filled with pretty impatients of all colours,unfortunately not in this photo, but it really does make the place look a lot brighter.it's not much but it is ours. :)
My husband and I agree that the Irish cottage is just way too cool and our house pales in comparison!
Nice houses everyone! :eek: Kelly, your house is huge, nice place you got there! ;)
Here is my farm... not the best time to take pictures since all the snow is melting right now, I promise you, it looks a lot better in the summer. :o I live in the house, and my grandpa lives in the trailer, the big white shed is part of my grandpa's work shop, and then our riding arena for the horses. :)

jackmilliesmom - how old is your house, do you know? And what's that wee building across from you with the steps leading up the side to the odd door?
No pictures of our house at the moment, I'll try to dig one up later.
I just love seeing american homes, they are quite different to ours here down under, and of course the beautiful quaint stone cottages in the UK or Ireland, are always great to see,just love that history. :)
jackmilliesmom, what a wonderful house! I'm jealous!
I'm not in a house but here it is.....
First pic is my apt building called Palace Quay (pronouned Key)

Don't say that I am sure your house is just as beautiful and would love to see it. We are still renovating ours and the building in the back of one of the pictures is called a piggary years ago people would keep pigs and this would be their home. We have knocked a full door in teh back of it and that is where the doggies stay during the day when we are at work and at night they do not like to sleep in the house for some reason.Quote:

I just explained in an earlier post about the building at the back and what it is called. Our house is approximately 120 years old and there were 3 families reared there and they had at the very least 12 children in each but guess what we only have 4 rooms in the house upstairs would have been 2 bedrooms and downstairs would have been a bedroom and a kitchen. They would have had an outdoor toilet at the side of the piggary which is still there but has a more modern toilet in it now. We use that when my husband is working in his workshop as for him to come in and use hte bathroom upstairs he would drag plasterdust and other yucky stuff through the house. We have converted one of the bedrooms upstairs into a bathroom and the bedroom downstairs is now our sitting room.Quote:

Our house is made from granite stone and the walls from outside to in are 3 foot thick, we have replaced the old wooden windows with the nearest style of pvc windows. We love where we live as we look across at a farm on the other side of the road and pick out our lamb for easter dinner and the rest of the year, sorry lamb lovers but that is a way of life I am afraid....
Our home is a work in progress. I hope the yard will look much better in the coming months. I have certainly been working hard on it!

Heres my house around the Holidays, its dark but only picture I could find on my laptop.
That is AWESOME!! It reminds me of what I pictured when I read James Herriot's novels about when he was a vet in the country. I think he was from Ireland. If not, it's still how I pictured it!Quote:

James Herriot was from Scotland but lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales. The countryside is quite similar although I believe Ireland tends to be a little rockier whereas the Dales is mostly made of heath-y hills. The Dales is beautiful, I've been many times and I have been to the place that Herriot used to practice. Lancashire's countryside is similar but greener and not as harsh. :)Quote:

We have a TINY garden which I really hate, although we do get a lot of wildlife.

And I thought I'd include a pic of our living room, as the interior of our house is a lot nicer than the exterior!

Thanks, Sara. It is a Japanese Maple, and the night after I took that picture, the freezing temperatures killed all of that wonderful new growth. :( We took a beating for 5 straight nights and most of the smaller trees and bushes were affected. I hope everything will come back!Quote:
