Our villa is a process. It began in April 2005 and Lord-willing in the next few months will be completed (we lack landscape…rolling hills covered with vineyards and orchards, flowering grasses, well-worn paths, and large shade trees). We’ll we’ve got 1/3 of an acre–so it may be a little less than the beautiful hills of Tuscany! But it’s our villa and we love it!
Here are some pictures of the progress:
May 2005-Purchasing the Property
September–Property Cleared & Ready for New Villa
The New Villa Has Arrived–Safe and Sound!
Move in Day–December 26th (Thanks so much to all who helped!!)
April 2006: Mostly Settled–This is My Office!
June 2006: Landscaping to make the outside of the villa worthy. Here are a few pictures:
Entry way with patio, which still needs the privacy fence panels to go up (PROGRESS is good!):
More to come as we get near the end!
