This is not an optical illusion...

This pic is of the kitchen tile. No, this is not a picture from one of those optical illusion coffee table books from an eye doctor's office. There really are two different types of tile. :)

How it all started...

In February of 2009 we took possession of a house on 10+ acres in the small town of Ocqueoc, MI. The house belonged to Shelly's folks, who purchased it from a close family friend who lived in the house until he passed away in 2007.

The house was structurally and functionally sound, but there was MUCH cleanup and updating to be done. Words can't do it all justice, so we've also been posting before/after pictures of our progress. These are for us as much as for you. We trend towards impatience, and it does us good to occasionally go back and look at where we started, to help us to better appreciate what we've accomplished.

With my employer's surprise announcement of the availability of a position in Michigan, we made the decision to move from our 15 year home in Ohio to our little piece of paradise in northern Michigan...lovingly named Shangri La.

Okay...when we originally named our future homestead it was seriously tongue in cheek, but it's slowly moving closer to resembling its title. We'll eventually get it there, and we'll document our journey here.
