Closing Friday, October 29, 20010
Friends,
Laura and I close on the house this Friday. After many rounds of house hunting, home inspections, and deals falling through, it is finally here. We decided to buy an 1830s expanded Cape in Orford, NH. It has a ton of historical charm with some modern conveniences. Best of all we have six acres that include apple trees, plumb trees, raspberries, and blackberries. We will likely add some Rhode Island Red laying hens in the spring. Sheep have also been discussed. Being an 1830s home there is of course work to be done. I will keep you posted as we make updates and improvements. If you are wondering where the name "Two Boot and Shoe" comes from, I borrowed from the Orford, NH historical record that detailed the industry in the town during the 18th and 19th century which included among other things a grist mill, a tannery, and "two boot and a shoe factories."
