Will it ever be beautiful?

YES! But it took a lot of hard back breaking work....
Sometimes the carriage house was so hidden with trees, weeds, shrubs we couldn't even see it! 

 I mean really? How did this happen?

Check out my mom determined to help us out of this mess!

My dad: "Sure I can take that tree down"
Me: "Um, really? That giant dead tree growing next to the carriage house?"
My dad: "Yea, sure no problem"
Me: "Um... ok"
 And he did it... it almost killed him - but it is hard to stop a Merschdorf when they put their mind to something!
 Yes that is a 8 foot pile of debris as we try to dig our way to the carriage house... now what the heck do we do with it?
 Alright... we are making some progress. At least you can see the house now!
 Ugh. Poor carriage house
 Ok - lets get some stuff done!
It is time to get serious
 Bye Bye awful ugly cement stairs

 We know there is a septic here somewhere.... but where?
 Ok, now this looks like progress
 Wait what!
 New back addition is on
 and painted
Looks like we dug our way out of one heck of a mess
