My Scot: Let’s move.
Me: Why? I like where we live.
My Scot: I want to live on the lake. I want to wake up and see the water.
Me: The only lake within driving distance to the office doesn’t have any new builds in our price range.
My Scot: We can buy an old house and remodel it.
Me: Can I take an extra day off work to focus on my writing?
My Scot: Yes.
Me: Done
And that’s how my life got turned upside down!

Currently we’ve purchased an older home on the lake and plan to strip it down to the studs, add a room and move a staircase. If our pocketbook allows, we’ll add a pool (for me) and a dock (for my Scot) Sorry honey, there will be no trips to Scotland to visit the fam. in our immediate future. This wee lass has her hands full. I’ve posted a few pics of the start of the demo. My mom brought champagne because what’s a Demo Day without a little bubbly?


Stay tuned for more pics from our Fixer Upper Adventure.
