Movin' up the road

As many of you know, the location where we live now is only a 5-year deal.  A gentleman, with no heirs, left his farm in a trust with the condition that for the next 100 years, it be given to a young farming couple every 5 years.  We are only the third couple to have this opportunity.  Our 5-years are coming to an end when this year's crop is harvested.  A new couple has been selected.  We need to find a new place to live. 
We haven't bought a farm, yet.  Still patiently waiting.  In the meantime, we'll be moving up the road a ways to a home that we will rent while we wait.  This home has been newly renovated in the living room, laundry, dining room and kitchen.  Here are some photos.  

The outside:

We have been in the process of bringing a few things up to the house as time allows.  The kiddos are great haulers!

A look at the kitchen from the living room hallway.  The dining area is on the left, the refrigerator will go on the right.  

An opposite view toward the dining area, looking from the garage entry.  

Standing in the dining area, looking toward the living room.  

A view of the living room.  On the upper left is the hallway to the dining/kitchen.  Straight back is the doorway to the laundry room area.  

Master bedroom.

The girls' bedroom (sorry it's a dark picture).  

The boys' room.  

And the bathroom.  

The bonus about this house:  an extra bedroom and toilet.  :p

  2. Looks like a great place! How nice for the kids to have their own rooms (well, with just one other roomie, not three!). :)
