A Daunting Task (or...What Were We Thinking?)

I guess we got bored. There really wasn't another project to do on our current home, and when that happens, we start looking for a home in need. Requirements: within an hour of Nashville, more than 80 years old, retaining some original architectural elements, acreage, and priced right to be restored. We found it in Shipps Bend, a little hamlet in the village of Centerville. A virtually abandoned 3600 square foot Georgian Colonial Revival built in 1926 on 9 acres. The town square is about a mile up the road, the views are beautiful. The land is fantastic--gently rolling pasture with a pond. It used to be a dairy farm, so it's good arrable land that will be great for farming. The house comes with a two car detached garage, and a brick storage building that used to be the retail shop for dairy sales. Behind the garage is a chicken coop that is going to take some work to bring back to life. We haven't seen the pond on the pasture, but we have been told it is there. A bush hog is desperately needed. Our primary renovation team consists of Joel as General Contractor, Sariah as part time support, Jody as Construction Foreman, David, Carpenter Extraordinaire and Ros, expert on all good things needed from Lowes. We are not planning on finishing this project quite as fast as the last one, but we'll have a lot more sweat equity into it before we are done.
