Thanks for the pictures; your new old house looks to be in great condition; we look forward to seeing & hearing lots more about it!

Looks nice! Those squinting eye windows at the end of the addition are funky....

Great looking house. Always like seeing another gambrel on here. Definitely a New England house tho, that flared gambrel is again something we don't see down here.

Im glad everyone likes it so far. This weekend I am looking into a pellet stove, me and my wife really only use a central area and our bedroom so if we shut off the side rooms (den and formal dining room) we can essentially seal off most of the house including the upstairs and use the stove to heat the small area we use 80% of the time, next comes insulating and sealing everything I can, Down the road I would love to add solar to the roof of the garage / workspop or possibly to the 1 story addition it is a fairly low angle roof and it would be hard to see and it is a large surface area to collect the sun.

Ok - you might not be interested in the style but we've just has a Wittus Musa pellet stove installed - they can duct the heat to other rooms 25 ft away.

It might be too industrial or European for you though.

We chose the Bordeaux (red) side panels - It's keeping the part of the house that was cool super warm - which is affecting the heating in the rest of the house. We're working on the balancing.
