The House - garden

 

This house is amazing! I love everything about it!

It’s very old and used to have two separate owners—one for each floor. I’m so happy they both decided to sell, because this was an incredible opportunity that was worth every penny. A wealthy Jewish family originally built it, and there’s even a picture of it in a book about Vidin—how cool is that?! Over the years, the house changed hands several times, and now we are the lucky ones!

In this post, I want to tell you more about the garden, since that’s where we started our work. We’re planning to use the cleared ground to store materials, and we made an agreement with the owners of the first floor to remove most of the belongings they left behind. The garden was completely overgrown with weeds. It was a lot of hard work, but we managed to clear it all in just one weekend. Veni and I make a great team—we work really well together. I think we should start a construction company!

Of course, I didn’t take many "before" pictures, because I forgot. It was all covered in weeds. I also didn’t take enough "after" photos, again because I forgot. I get so caught up in the work, imagining what I’ll plant and create there, that I forget I even have a phone—which, by the way, I also really like.

As you can see from the photos, the garden is big. At first, with all the weeds, it didn’t seem that large, but now it feels huge! It definitely needs more trees, and there’s a specific one we’re planning to plant. I bet it will look beautiful, give us great shade, and help create amazing memories in that space.

This weekend, we’re going back to continue cleaning the house inside and out. I’m excited—even though last weekend left me completely exhausted, I enjoyed every second of it!

My little boy helps as much as he can. He says “trash” and starts sorting things into a pile to take to the bin. Such an adorable little helper!
