Answer 12

First thing we did was rent an excavator and went hog-wild ripping out dead and decaying trees and filling in the swamp they called a front yard. Then tearing down the house and literally throwing it away. Then ripped out the innards of the two story garage (which was bigger than the house) and remodeled it the way we want it. We're almost done and we closed on the property 4 years ago. :) If the wooded river side property wasn't so strikingly beautiful, we probably would have thought twice about this project.
