This is probably way more info than you really want to know about me; but if you really want to know what kind of projects I've been working on, take a look at this:

Oh my gosh that is SOO cool, DK!!! That is all on your property?? What exactly are you going to be doing with all of that space?? I can see the use of having a full gym - how cool - but what will you do with the school house? Will it just be a workshop kind of thing? I know you said it would be a work in progress for a long time but I'm just wondering what will happen to it.. will is be used as a school again someday? Or converted into a home? I'm so intrigued - that is so awesome!!

Well, Erika, I live in the school now, and I use the gym for a big honkin garage. I am not sure what I'm going to do with all of it in the future. These pics were all taken a while back. The kitchen has all the appliances in, and a bathroom is finished off. Of course, there is still the boys and girls restrooms downstairs. An Endless Pool is going into one of the rooms; it is currently stored in the gym. My workshop is the block building that was added on to the school and used for three classrooms. They were going to put a second story on that, but instead closed the school in 1998. It only went up through the 8th grade. The pictures you saw on the walls were painted by the kids when they graduated from 8th grade.

I just did a little more Facebook stalking of you (you really need to change your settings or we will all creep on your pictures... hahaha...) and was just about to come back and say "HEY!! You're living in the school!!! That's so cool!!!" That's so ridiculously neat - you should post some updated pictures.. I think it would be so cool to be able to have a full-size gym.. you could use half of it as a garage and half of it as a basketball court/racquetball court or something.. Oooh an endless pool will be so nice!! If you paint over those murals, you should take pictures of them first and then frame them into a photo mural or something.. so neat...

Yes; I thought about framing pics of the pics - for nostalgia. Yeah, I figured some super sleuth would be able to find me out on facebook. :) The basketball fixutres are still up; I just need to roll out the tractors and stuff, and play ball whenever we want. I'm rebuilding the stage now for concerts, movies and such. We just have a lot of fun with the place and we're just getting started.

As you can see, I probably would have room for a FS reunion. Of course, we would all gain about 10 pounds back, and have to go through this whole ritual again. :) Anyway, I don't expect I'll ever have the whole project done. It's liveable now, and whoever takes over when I'm gone will have a lot of the work done for them. I'm trying to prolong that as long as I can though. :)

Not to worry; my life is an open book. We are involved with the youth at and different groups at church. Various entities like the sheriff's department, fire department, girls softball team and others want to play or practice in the gym in the winter time. The local newspaper did a big article on us; they thought it was news that we converted the local school to a residence. I love the sound of the motorcyles revving up in the gym. I've still got to run lighting for the gym (26 ft up); ergo the reason for the manlift in the pics.

Hahaha.. I told you we would all creep on your pictures!! :) DK, we wouldn't gain 10 pounds because we'd be playing basketball and taking turns swimming in your endless pool!! (and I guess it'd be ok if we gained some weight because it would ensure that we'd all stay on the site..) :)

That is just fantastic. I love the name of the school too. My son, David, would get a kick out of living there. You're doing such a great job. Can't wait to see finished version.
