… and bought a house. It’s in Guilderland, a little over 3,000 sq. ft. Decent sized yard, nothing too big though. Only a 2 stall garage, but it should be fine for now. Only plans I have is for a decent sized shed for lawn equipment, fencing in the yard, and re-doing the deck. I’ll post a few pics shortly. ---
