Front of the house

Here are some pictures of the outside of the new house on Ridgefield Road. As you can see it is located on an ENORMOUS hill, which makes getting in and out of the driveway a whole lot of fun (especially in bad weather). My parents owned this house before we purchased it, and my grandparents owned it before them. They purchased it new as part of the development in the 50s. Early on in home-ownership, my grandfather realized that it was far too difficult to move the front lawn since it was on such a steep hill, and so, he planted ivy -- way to go grand-dad!

As I look at these pictures, I notice that we have a chimney on the roof -- I've never realized that before. We don't actually have a fireplace, so I guess the chimney is an exhaust for the furnace. I wish we had a fireplace.
