NOW and THEN!

The reason why I decided to start this blog TODAY is that I just wanted to share my excitement about our latest discovery: The house we will be living in in Germany turned out to be 20 years older than we thought. One of our future neighbors gave my parents an old postcard with postage stamp cut off that shows the house with two ladies in front. The postcard was written 1913!!!

Now I just wish there was still the old front door, the doublesided stairs leading up to the front door and the beautiful old wood framing visible on the south side of the building. Now there is an addition to the house (which includes a living room, master bath and roof top terrace/ balcony)



NOW







THEN





couldn't turn the image, but the card IS from 1913!

Now you can imagine the kind of plumbing, heating and electrical problems we are facing!!!
100 years old!!!
That is quite something, isn't it.
Well, pictures of the raggy, shaggy interiour will follow soon. Check back, if you dare ;)
