Philippines remodeling homes.

"Happiness depends on leisure", and this Connecticut family took the philosopher's words to heart. They removed their home's Philippines remodeling homes rear barriers and revealed the idyllic pond where their best moments now take place.

There is no doubt that leisure puts us at our best--more easygoing, more curious, more outdoorsy, more fun. In 1991, purchased this countryside property to accommodate their favorite downtime activity: keeping horses. Their 1745 Colonial farmhouse Philippines remodeling homes sits on 40 acres, consisting of a private pond, riding trails, barns, and scenic vistas. "Like any family, we have a frantic weekly schedule with work, school, soccer, and other activities," Katie says. "But then, we come home to a family dinner and a movie, or an evening swim, horseback ride, or just watching the girls catch frogs."

Although filled with charm and history, the house was comprised of many small rooms Philippines remodeling homes wanted larger spaces to accommodate family living and togetherness. They also desired that the family room, kitchen, dining area, and porch open to the beauty of their backyard, where the family spends much time swimming, canoeing, and horseback riding. "Originally, all we had looking to the pond was a small window and a door".

With the help of architect Philippines remodeling homes removed the barriers--an old shed and barn--attached to the rear of the house. The barn was relocated on the property. The transformation of this 1,360-square-foot area into the new sunny family living spaces took about a year to complete. "This all started because a light needed fixing and a dishwasher kept disconnecting from the kitchen Philippines remodeling homes wall". "Then it turned into this full-scale remodeling."

Another place to sit and enjoy the pond, the new three-season porch is host to many morning and evening meals. The walls of the porch are removable glass inserts, which are replaced with screens during the summer.

"Every year we watch a mother deer and her fawn cautiously approach the house". "And a river otter and a pair of great blue herons have adopted the pond as their home." The pond is stocked with bass and trout so can perfect his fly-fishing cast.
