For those of you who haven't ever been out to the Yeager farm, this is one of the first things you will see as you pull in our driveway. A very, very old tobacco barn that has been standing for years and years. We always were scared that every strong storm that came our way would take the old barn down but thank God it never did. We had several builders come out and tell us we needed to use the wood on that barn for our house and of course Kenny and I were thinking these men were crazy and out of their minds. After doing some research on reclaimed wood we were thinking that maybe these men weren't so crazy after all. We took a few pieces off the barn and took them to a company over in Sellersburg named Pennington Hardwood and man were we in for a surprise. The wood on the barn was oak and he said it would look great on our floors if we wanted to do it and he ran a sample for us and WOW...I was speechless for the first time in a long time. It was beautiful and pretty much a done deal. I will get a picture of it and post it real soon so you all can see just what I'm talking about and not think we have lost our minds.

This is going to be my husbands safe room and boy is he excited about that!

Soon to be my steps going to the downstairs

This is my soon to be garage. I can't wait.
This is a picture of our walkout basement and all the beautiful windows and french doors

Some of our crew working on the house

My front porch and man is it going to be a big one

This is Steve Repay. He is our builder and he has done a wonderful job!

This was early in the morning and the very first one to go on the house
It's looking much better

This is the inside of the house and we will be having 12 foot ceilings in the living room
