Backstory

The house that my husband grew up in. The house that my in-laws started their family in. That house, is now our house. The first time I visited my husband's parent's farm, I barely noticed it even though it's only a couple hundred meters from their current house. Now I visit multiple times a day to see what's happening in the grand remodeling project.

Eduardo and I are the architects. And he, single-handedly (or just about) is the construction crew, engineer, electrician and plumber. We started this project when he moved back to Brasil (and the farm) at the end of 2009. When I arrived in June there was still more destruction happening than construction, and hopefully, within the next couple of months it will be complete.

Just about the same view in October.
