Today marks one year since closing on Fairview. To say it’s been an adventure would be an understatement. Some days we question our choices and our sanity but then remember how lucky we are to own a piece of history.
In the last year, we have:
-lived thru the hottest summer without central air;
-hosted our first overnight guests! 🫶
-spent countless hours cleaning
-done asbestos abatement
-had the attic re-insulated
-had an ER visit from wasp stings while cutting down a tree
-made countless window inserts to mitigate cold air coming in
-gone to counties estate sales and picked up some amazing pieces
-learned to wear winter socks and sweatpants to bed
-maintenance , maintenance , maintenance!
-found some treasures in the attic
-dug deeper into the house’s history
-hosted Friendsgiving
-hosted Christmas Eve
-hosted Ashton’s 14th birthday party
Most importantly, through most of it, we kept laughing and smiling. We have some big projects on tap this year, so stay tuned!
We are honored to be Fairview’s stewards for one never truly owns an old home; we just care for it until it’s time for the next person to take over.
With love,
Devon & Jason
