New home front in Gallatin
August 17… Back in Gallatin we’ve had a good time trimming, mowing and recovering flower beds at the new home front setting on the east side of Gallatin at 203 S Willow. The house was built some time near 1900 and has family history with my aunt being born there (1936) while my great grand parents lived there., My oldest uncle went to grade school also living with my great grand parents. The house has 3 bedrooms 1 1/2 baths and has gone through partial remodels twice in the past 10 years. She is in sound shape but old at heart. There’s been some substandard additions for the kitchen and back porch that we will remove in a remodel we hope to do next summer. Here’s a quick glimps of the property.

< Remodeled Living room sets the flavor for the rest of the house inside. All new doors, windows, textures, fresh paint, new trim and outside siding. The plan is to expand/remodel the kitchen, add a bedroom with a full bath and a deck to enjoy the pasture view to the east. This will be our project next summer.
Mom will plan on living here while she is Gallatin and is very excited about the new place.
