Purchased this house in November 2021. Since this aerial photograph was take the cleared out are behind the house is now thickly covered in Pine and Cedar trees. Also, several of the trees on the front lawn have also been cut since 1990.

Hi Daryl,
Have you made any changes to the house since you've bought it?

So far we have no plans to change anything with the house. We were told that the house had been rented sometime in 2017 - 2018 and the owner had to evict the tenant. The house was left in a vandalized state, and required all new windows, replacement interior doors, removal of all carpeting, replacement of all bathroom fixtures, etc.

We have done some excavating in the front yard, uncovering a 6' 11" x 6' 11" concrete foundation with 6" thick walls at about 1-1/2 foot tall. We also plan to clear an area of the woods behind the house for our small farm this summer / fall.

We are trying to get as much information on what was on the property, such as what the mysterious foundation was for, and cleaning up the old flower beds out back, removing a lot of trash that has been dumped in the woods, and trying to level the front lawn which has quite a few ankle breaker holes left from trees and roots
that had been removed over the years.

UPDATE: Talked to neighbors tonight. We were told that the house had been rented out several times over the years, each time requiring the Trust Holder to evict tenants due to failure to pay rent. Each time, the house had been left in disrepair and damaged. The uncovered concrete area on the front left of the yard was originally a Koi fishpond, that had been filled in when the original owner of the house could no longer maintain the pond. we plan to expand it and restore it back to a koi pond in 2023.

The house has now been upgraded with a new heat pump system replacing the non-functional and inefficient electric baseboard heaters. Parts of the house's original oil heating vent system have been put back into service for the new system, re-using the original floor vent boots which had been sealed up with wood, cold air return that had been left in place and never sealed, and upstairs vents capped off with new venting installed in each room.
