Friend of ours who runs a drone-for-hire company took a spin over the property a few weeks ago, and these were two of the shots in the footage. It's a huge huge file, so I won't strain the blog with the entire thing, but this is the house, surrounded by what apparently are tiny fields and great poufy trees.
I have just added "get drone" to my wish list, which now includes a cat tower, a pair of middle aged female cats, a motor cycle (with helmet), and a new honda hatchback.
And it's up to date. Google Earth shows my house as it was about ten years ago.
ReplyDeletewell, Google Earth only shows this top-down, since it's off road, and they can't drive up driveways.
DeleteYou know, there is that time-frame WayBack thingy at the top, does that help?
Our house hasn't changed on the outside that much, but the trees are ten years taller and the outlying areas are much 'fluffier'...
Since I'm nosy enough to be part cat, I think a drone could be fun, if only to keep neighbors under surveillance!!
ReplyDeleteYour house looks a lot more modern than I'd visualized. What with the woodstoves and all, I was thinking more rustic, like a Yorkshire farmhouse or something. Interesting to see how orderly it all is, too!
That's the beauty of fly-bys: you don't see the 1/2 dozen small rugs on the porch, or the woodbox or the stray bits we have no place for yet inside.
DeleteThe porch is new to the house, and the exterior replaces the old shakes and the 2/over/2 windows which replaced the 9 over six.
I've noticed that old Colonials like this tend to look spiffy, even when you notice the cardboard in one of the missing panes and the door hanging open...I'll post a photo of what it looked like when we moved up here, and one after we finished the roof, the chimneys, the foundation, the windows...
I always had you figured for a biker chick, JT...
ReplyDeleteLol, my deepest darkest secret.
