Oak Cottage December 1995

This is a picture of Oak Cottage as we found him in December 2005. Quite the sorry sight! But he still had such good bones - and such character! We couldn't turn away (though there have been many times over the last few years when we almost wish we had!) So far we've invested 3 years of nearly full time labor. Bob has nearly lived at "The General" - and many talented craftsmen / subcontractors have been retained as well. There have been many challenges and hardships - and massive investments - both financially and emotionally. Our entire lives have revolved around this project for a long time. But it has had it's rewards as well. We've met many very kind people - and had the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles - and the delight of breathing new life into this wonderful piece of history! Sometimes it almost seems as though the house itself is trying to thank us. We hope you'll follow along with us on this last leg of our very long journey! http://newjerseyhistorichomesforsale.com
