The New 4 Bedroom Block Home


My parents bought 7 acres south of the old house, and built a 4 Bedroom Block Home!
Look Below For the Construction of This Home!

The Owners of this property were "The Woods Family", but they
lived in a little gray shack! Here is a portion of the little
gray shack, which was used as their children's bedrooms. The main
portion (Living room and kitchen of the little gray shack was moved
from its orginal location as a shed to keep hay and feed for our cattle
we raised on this 7 acres!

Check These Pictures Out!
On the left, now a shed! On the right, a shed for a lawn mower, and rakes, etc.
Originally, The Woods family childrens bedrooms!
Now, a shed for hay and feed for the McKelvey family' cattle! Originally, The Woods family Living Room, and Kitchen!
Then, Used as a Utility Shed of the McKelvey Family!
If you look closely, in the above right picture you will
also see behind the truck, the old wood house, and the other home,
by its side to the left! Also, to the right the back corner of the
new house. So, here is "The Woods Home", "The Banton's Home",
"Our Old Wood Frame Home", and "Our New Block Home!"


Here are some construction pictures of the New Block Home.

We just began moving into the house, and
surprised by a visit from Ohio relatives!
Grandpa Leo G. Lorson, with 2nd wife, Ruth Flanagan.
Dorothy's Sister Lucille Smith, James Smith, and their daughter Pamela, also
came along, too! Actually, I think the Smith's drove everyone down!
