After living in studio and 1-bedroom apartments, we bought our first home in August 2009. It was built in the 1840s, and while it has some charming quirks, it also needs a lot of work, both structural and cosmetic. We are novices at gardening and home repair, but we learn as we go.
We live in north/central Maine with our two dogs, who love having a yard.
