Old house restoration part 1

I ran into some very nice people at the doctors office while waiting to have some bloodwork done. We got to talking about the house we moved.  I gave her my card and told her I would post some photos on my blog.  So.... here we go.  This is all you could see of the front porch of the house before we cleared the trees.  The house had been vacant for approx 20 years and was used by the San Antonio SWAT for practice one day, causing all windows, doors and some floors and wall to be destroyed. The house was built in 1907 by my great grandparents on my mothers side and was then sold to my grandparents until they moved shortly after the death of my great grandmother. After that it was rented for a very short amount of time and then left vacant. My grandmother and most of her siblings were born in the house. I believe even some of my aunts and uncles were also born there.                 ...
