Our old house in New Mexico

In a few weeks it'll be one year since the day we finally moved out of New Mexico and go back to our roots in the state of Washington. I went through some photos of our house when we got it all cleaned up and ready to put it up on the real estate market. I was able to sell my house 6 months later. The house we lived in for several years was a nice, solid brick house where I planted the roses, trees, and built a 8 x 8 shed for the back yard during my time there. It was a 4 bedroom house with a very ample two-car garage. A roomy house in the great desert southwest of Alamogordo, New Mexico. I hope you enjoy my pictures.



The house before we moved in. The subdivision was still growing back then in late 2002 against the backdrop of the Sacramento Mountains whose elevation goes up to over 9,000 feet. That is where my outdoor "office" is located.


A Mexican Alder tree. Very popular tree in Alamogordo. It finally took root in 2007 after languishing a bit and grew rapidly in 1 1/2 year.


Several colored rose bushes. Very pretty in the front of my house.


Roomy two car garage. Cleaned out my garage for this photo. Don't let this picture fool you. It is deceptively roomy.


My privvy room here. Decided to build a magazine holder that's flush into the wall.


Backyard looking into back of house.


Lovely jet tub.


Backyard looking south. Two trees, apricot and peaches. And a grape vine bush near the corner of brick fence.


Patio. Spent a lot of time there doing the BBQ thing and relaxing when the days are not as hot.


Backyard looking north. There's the 8 x 8 shed I built myself. Sturdy stuff.


My shed. I enjoyed my time building this. Took me 3 or 4 weekends to get it done. Problem was that it was during the height of the summer heat. I was working outdoors with temperature around 100 degrees. Oh, yes, I do build things. My garage was my workshop.

Leaving for Washington! Near the end of May of 2009 we set out for week long adventure driving to Washington with two cars, two cats, three kids and my wonderful wife.

Our next adventure? Looking for a house to buy in Washington.
