Bed and Breakfast Description

Most people who were looking to buy our house were going to tear it down because of its condition and the fact it was on commercial property. Instead, the Countryman's moved from a new house in the country that they had built into a house with no plumbing and no electricity.

It was heavily vandalized shortly after they purchased the house. Every interior door, light fixture, sink, toilet, mirror were broken including the main water pipe into the house. They had to disconnect the eight meters to the house and install a temporary power pole while they rewired the house. They thought they could stay in their former house in the country until they had finished the repairs on the house in Snohomish but they were required to turn it over to the new owners. Also no insurance would cover any damage to the house if they were not living there.

When people talk about the good old days they simply do not know how difficult it is to live without running water and electricity especially with four children one of them being a newborn. We used to greet people with our kerosene lamps. The bathrooms were at the nearby library, gas station or Larry's Mom's house which was six blocks away.

The renovation is a life long process. Recent additions include a 50 year roof, two balconies and front portico. We have plans to add a conservatory, and gates to our wrought iron fence.
